Rowena Godaire

Rowena Godaire serves as a Contracting Officer with Hq USASOC Contracting (H92239), responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that support the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s operational readiness. She oversees the procurement of professional development training, instructional services, and specialized educational programs designed to enhance tactical proficiency, leadership, and doctrinal compliance among elite special operations forces. Her portfolio centers on non-commodity, knowledge-based contracts that align with USASOC’s strategic emphasis on human capital development and mission-specific capability enhancement, ensuring acquisitions are compliant with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and tailored to the unique demands of special operations environments. Godaire maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of 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 specialized training curricula, operational support services, and doctrinal development solutions tailored to special operations forces. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms that demonstrate proven capability in high-stakes, mission-critical environments, often requiring security clearances and niche domain knowledge. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Godaire exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring all solicitations are reserved for small businesses meeting socioeconomic criteria. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering vendor diversity and enabling small firms to contribute directly to national defense readiness through specialized services. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), indicating a specialized interest in procuring custom-fabricated gear, tactical apparel, and mission-specific textile systems—such as load-bearing equipment, concealment garments, and environmentally adaptive uniforms—that meet exacting special operations standards. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in non-traditional defense contracting domains where material science, ergonomics, and operational survivability converge.
