Samantha Goodwin

Samantha Goodwin serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to public infrastructure and municipal services. Her work supports the agency’s mission to deliver essential public utilities and environmental services through strategic contracting practices. She routinely handles complex procurements involving water system infrastructure, solid waste management, and vehicle supply logistics, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Her role bridges operational needs with fiscal accountability, emphasizing transparency, competition, and value-driven outcomes across the acquisition lifecycle. Goodwin cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including municipal service providers, industrial wholesalers, and environmental contractors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering scalable, compliant solutions in water distribution, waste collection, and motor vehicle supply chains. Her contracting approach prioritizes responsiveness, technical capability, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that align with agency operational resilience goals. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand market access for small businesses, though the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors. This balanced approach ensures robust competition while intentionally creating pathways for qualified small businesses to contribute to public service delivery. Goodwin’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), 423110 (Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), each representing roughly one-third of her activity. She specializes in procuring water treatment components, fleet vehicles and parts, and waste collection equipment and services. Her technical expertise lies at the intersection of environmental infrastructure and public works logistics, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent regulatory, safety, and sustainability benchmarks.
