Barry Kent Goodwin

Barry Kent Goodwin, a Chapel Hill, North Carolina–based sole proprietorship, provides actuarial and underwriting expert review services for federal crop insurance and risk management programs as a non-set-aside prime contractor, competing exclusively on full-and-open procurements with the Department of Agriculture. Goodwin operates across NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and PSC H799 (Social–Government Insurance Programs: Other), conducting labor-hours contract work that focuses on Federal Crop Insurance Corporation policy analysis and compliance review with the Federal Crop Insurance Act.

Goodwin's customer footprint is concentrated with a single federal agency. The Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency accounts for 28 awards and $1.3 million of the combined $1.4 million potential value across all 45 recent prime awards (84% of award count, 93% of dollars). The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office holds 8 awards valued at $113 thousand, and the Farm Service Agency Alaska holds 2 awards worth $25 thousand. The two customer-ranking views track precisely — there is no tension between volume and dollar concentration; RMA dominates both.

Goodwin's primary vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 12645S18A0013) with RMA, with a $250,000 ceiling through September 30, 2028, awarded October 1, 2023. This vehicle has generated 12 task orders worth $240 thousand combined potential value. The BPA employs labor-hours pricing and tasks Goodwin with actuarial and underwriting expert review of crop insurance policies, plans of insurance, and related submissions as required by statute. Recent BPA calls under this vehicle include a $39,370.73 call on September 4, 2026, for expert review of a confidential submission for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors (performance in Stilwell, Kansas, completion November 4, 2026); a $29,120 call on June 2, 2025, for expert review of the Harvest Cost Endorsement (completion June 30, 2025); and a $22,493.50 call on September 4, 2025, for hybrid wheat seed submission review (completion November 4, 2025). Goodwin also holds smaller BPAs with the Farm Service Agency Kansas City office (BPA AG645SB090042, 8 task orders, $78 thousand) and other commodity and insurance-related review vehicles.

Activity is highly concentrated in recent years — five awards in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award ($39 thousand) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months. Goodwin has no subcontract relationships; all 45 awards are primes. The work consists of short-duration, labor-capped expert board reviews of proposed crop insurance product modifications, confidential submissions, and commodity-specific coverage endorsements, delivered as directed by RMA and Farm Service Agency program managers.
