Kathleen F Goodrich

Kathleen F. Goodrich serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), where she manages the acquisition of critical technical and operational capabilities to support national security and forensic investigations. Her portfolio focuses on procuring advanced computing infrastructure, secure communications equipment, and specialized training solutions that enhance the FBI’s digital intelligence and forensic analysis capabilities. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing laboratory systems, securing evidence integrity, and deploying cyber-enabled investigative tools. Goodrich maintains primary contracting relationships with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which supply mission-critical equipment and technical services aligned with law enforcement and forensic operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, ensuring reliable delivery of high-integrity hardware and software systems. While she engages with a limited number of primary contractors, she maintains a disciplined vendor evaluation process focused on technical capability, supply chain security, and adherence to federal standards. Goodrich’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on accessing the broadest possible market of qualified vendors capable of meeting the FBI’s stringent technical and security requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides. Her approach prioritizes mission readiness and technical superiority over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the FBI’s operational imperatives. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Training (611420), Computing Infrastructure Providers (518210), Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing (334220), and Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers (423430). She routinely procures secure communication devices, data processing systems, forensic analysis platforms, and specialized training curricula—reflecting deep expertise in digital forensics, cyber infrastructure, and law enforcement technology ecosystems.
