Rowena Godaire

Rowena Godaire serves as a key contracting professional within U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), supporting the procurement of mission-critical training, educational, and operational support services essential to maintaining the readiness of elite special operations forces. Her work centers on acquiring specialized instructional programs, professional development curricula, and non-scheduled air transportation services that enhance tactical proficiency, leadership, and doctrinal alignment across SOF units. She plays a vital role in ensuring that USASOC’s acquisition strategy aligns with Department of Defense mandates for agility, innovation, and force multiplier capabilities, often managing complex, performance-based contracts that require high levels of operational specificity and contractor responsiveness. Godaire maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, SOF Landing LLC, Terrestris, LLC, and Strategic Solutions Unlimited, Inc. These vendors are frequently engaged for their expertise in delivering tailored training solutions, geospatial support, and expeditionary logistics services aligned with special operations requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven performance, technical adaptability, and deep domain understanding of SOF operational environments. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to leverage the agility and niche capabilities of small businesses while maintaining flexibility for larger, mission-critical vendors. She does not routinely employ 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, favoring instead broad small business competition where feasible. Godaire’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation) and NAICS 511130 (Other Software Publishers), reflecting her specialization in expeditionary air mobility support and mission-specific software solutions for training simulation, intelligence analysis, and doctrinal dissemination. Her technical domain expertise spans operational training systems, adaptive learning platforms, and secure digital content delivery—critical enablers for USASOC’s global, low-visibility missions.
