Lindsay Gooding

Lindsay Gooding serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in defense and aerospace systems, with a focus on advanced instrumentation, aircraft components, and ordnance-related technologies. Operating within a high-technical-demand environment, she oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Her work directly supports national security objectives by securing cutting-edge systems for aeronautical navigation, electrical signal measurement, and aircraft manufacturing applications, often coordinating with engineering and program management teams to align procurement outcomes with operational requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in the current dataset, Gooding’s acquisition patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 defense contractors and specialized manufacturers in aerospace and avionics, as well as niche suppliers of precision instruments and auxiliary equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and regulatory adherence, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and quality assurance protocols. Gooding’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.2% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a priority for technical excellence and broad market access. Nevertheless, she maintains a modest but deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 3.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating selective but intentional inclusion of qualified small manufacturers in high-complexity procurements. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems), 336413 (other aircraft parts), and 336411 (aircraft manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in avionics, flight control systems, and integrated weapon subsystems. She routinely procures mission-critical hardware including guidance systems, electrical test instruments, and ordnance accessories, demonstrating specialized knowledge in defense electronics and aerospace manufacturing standards.
