Her procurement approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing niche expertise in naval architecture, marine engineering, and mission-specific technical support, fostering reliable supply chain resilience for high-priority Coast Guard platforms. A strong advocate for small business participation, Goosby consistently structures acquisitions under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), with over half of her contracts reserved for small businesses.

Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep involvement in software development, data analytics, and maritime domain awareness systems. A secondary focus on NAICS 721110 suggests occasional support for temporary lodging or operational support services tied to field deployments. Goosby’s expertise centers on integrating advanced technology with maritime operational needs, ensuring acquisitions directly enhance Coast Guard readiness and technological superiority.
