Katelyn Godfrey

Katelyn Godfrey serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, under the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. She plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for physical security services and integrated surveillance systems that protect federal facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and managing contract awards in full compliance with FAR and DHS procurement policies. Katelyn specializes in complex service-based acquisitions, particularly those requiring high-level coordination between operational stakeholders and vendor teams to ensure seamless deployment of security personnel and technology solutions. Katelyn maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, each of which delivers specialized security services and system integration capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance. She regularly engages with contractors to clarify technical specifications, ensure regulatory alignment, and facilitate smooth contract transitions, reinforcing a collaborative yet rigorous acquisition environment. Katelyn demonstrates a balanced and deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately one-third of her awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides, one-third for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and one-third awarded without set-aside. This structured approach reflects her dedication to equitable opportunity while maintaining competitive integrity and mission readiness. She actively promotes participation from small disadvantaged businesses and ensures socioeconomic goals are integrated into every stage of the acquisition lifecycle. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 for security guard and patrol services, NAICS 561621 for security systems services, and NAICS 721110 for hotel and motel services supporting federal site operations. This triad of specializations underscores her expertise in securing both personnel and infrastructure, blending physical protection with operational support services to sustain the safety of federal assets.
