Cody Guidry

Cody Guidry serves as a primary contracting professional at the NASA Shared Services Center, where he plays a critical role in acquiring mission-enabling technologies that support NASA’s scientific and exploratory objectives. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements for high-precision analytical instruments, specialized software systems, and advanced engineering services. Guidry ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and NASA’s strategic goals by facilitating timely, compliant, and technically sound acquisitions that sustain the agency’s computational infrastructure and laboratory capabilities. He routinely handles complex contracts requiring deep technical evaluation and interagency coordination, particularly for instrumentation and software solutions critical to space mission readiness. Guidry maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including NEXTROW INC and PENN OAK SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized technical support, systems integration, and niche engineering services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical expertise, often involving task-order or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity mechanisms. He collaborates closely with these contractors to ensure deliverables meet NASA’s stringent standards for accuracy, durability, and cybersecurity compliance in mission-critical environments. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 76% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 24% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, Guidry consistently prioritizes small business participation through broad-based competition, fostering innovation and resilience in the supplier base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), with significant activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 513210 (Software Publishers). He specializes in acquiring mass spectrometers, environmental sensors, data acquisition systems, and custom analytical software, demonstrating deep expertise in scientific instrumentation and computational support domains critical to NASA’s research missions.
