Samuel Goulding

Samuel Goulding serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4620 92 Cons Lgc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages acquisitions for industrial maintenance systems, security infrastructure, and specialized equipment essential to aviation and ground support operations. His work ensures the reliability of defensive and facility systems through strategic sourcing aligned with Air Force resilience priorities. Goulding typically handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical compliance with DoD standards for safety, durability, and interoperability. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including Didsbury Inc., ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., NW TEL, LLC, RHODES STEPHENNE, and ATS INLAND NW LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors capable of delivering specialized industrial equipment, acoustic mitigation systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and custom maintenance solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical responsiveness, and adherence to federal compliance frameworks, fostering collaborative relationships with firms that demonstrate proven capability in high-stakes defense environments. Goulding demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 90% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small businesses across diverse categories, including service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, and HUBZone firms. His procurement decisions consistently prioritize small business eligibility, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to foster innovation and resilience through broad-based vendor inclusion. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 333924 for industrial material handling equipment and 337214 for non-wood office furniture, with additional emphasis on training services (611430) and commercial machinery (333310). He routinely procures ruggedized equipment for maintenance depots, acoustic control systems for noise-sensitive facilities, and specialized training solutions for technical personnel. His expertise lies in aligning commercial off-the-shelf solutions with military operational requirements in facility sustainment and base security domains.
