Deborah Godshall

Deborah Godshall serves as a Senior Subcontract Administrator, playing a critical role in ensuring compliance, oversight, and strategic alignment of subcontracting activities within federal acquisition programs. She is responsible for reviewing, negotiating, and monitoring subcontracts to ensure adherence to FAR regulations, prime contract flow-down clauses, and socioeconomic requirements. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to execute complex construction projects with accountability, transparency, and robust small business engagement. She typically handles prime contract subawards for commercial and institutional building construction, managing the subcontractor selection process from solicitation through performance evaluation. While specific contractor names are not available, Godshall maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors who prioritize subcontracting to small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in regulatory compliance and performance accountability. She actively engages with subcontractors to ensure proper certification verification, payment compliance, and reporting accuracy, fostering a culture of integrity and transparency across the subcontracting ecosystem. Godshall demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her assigned acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and systematic focus on creating equitable access for small businesses, without reliance on other set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business inclusion, ensuring that opportunities are distributed across diverse, qualified firms capable of delivering high-quality construction services. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new builds, renovations, and facility upgrades for government-supported infrastructure. She possesses deep technical expertise in construction project delivery methods, including design-bid-build and design-build structures, and ensures subcontractors meet stringent quality, safety, and regulatory standards. Her domain knowledge spans building systems, procurement of construction materials, and compliance with building codes and federal facility requirements.
