Janicia Goings

Janicia Goings serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aviation and sensor systems for elite special operations forces. Responsible for managing technical contracts under agency code H92241, she focuses on securing advanced computer storage devices and embedded data systems that enable real-time intelligence processing, secure data logging, and high-fidelity sensor fusion in austere environments. Her work directly supports USSOCOM’s mission to enhance aircraft survivability and operator situational awareness through hardened, high-performance computing platforms tailored for special operations missions. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Goings engages with a broad spectrum of defense-industrial base vendors specializing in ruggedized computing, military-grade data storage, and secure embedded systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance with MIL-STD and DO-160 standards, favoring vendors with proven experience in classified aerospace and avionics environments. She maintains a vendor ecosystem of established defense contractors and niche technology providers capable of rapid prototyping and secure supply chain management. Goings’ contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects USSOCOM’s operational imperative to access the broadest possible pool of technical expertise without socioeconomic restrictions, prioritizing capability, speed, and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 334112—Computer Storage Device Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in ruggedized solid-state drives, encrypted data recorders, and high-speed memory systems for tactical aircraft and ground-based mission systems. She procures components that meet stringent environmental, electromagnetic, and cybersecurity requirements, ensuring seamless integration into SOF platforms such as MH-60, MH-47, and MC-130 variants. Her expertise lies at the intersection of defense avionics, secure data architecture, and embedded systems engineering.
