James Godwin

James Godwin serves as the primary contracting representative for Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. He plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize aging facilities and sustain combat-ready bases through the procurement of construction, engineering, and utility services. His portfolio primarily includes complex, multi-year contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, transportation infrastructure, and related technical services, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for resilience, sustainability, and operational readiness. Godwin manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-driven outcomes. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in large-scale federal construction, marine infrastructure, and integrated design-build delivery methods. Godwin’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical competence and regulatory compliance. His procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 65% of acquisitions conducted as no set-aside competitions, while actively promoting small business participation through 15% 8(a) competed awards, 10% total small business set-asides, and 10% HUBZone set-asides. This balanced approach ensures competitive bidding while fulfilling statutory obligations to support disadvantaged and economically disadvantaged businesses in the federal construction sector. Godwin’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by highway and bridge construction (237310), and engineering services (541330). He routinely procures turnkey construction, structural upgrades, utility system modernization, and site development services, demonstrating deep expertise in facility sustainment, infrastructure resilience, and integrated project delivery for defense-critical environments.
