Throughout his federal contract history, Goodwin has consistently performed expert review services for the RMA, focusing on various agricultural insurance components.

Each contract has been a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call with labor hours pricing, typically ranging from $6,840 to $29,120 per task order. These contracts are consistently non-set-aside and involve reviewing confidential submissions for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) Board of Directors, with a primary goal of ensuring compliance with the Federal Crop Insurance Act and evaluating proposed modifications to insurance offerings.

Barry Kent Goodwin currently holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the RMA, valued at $250,000 and effective from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2028. This BPA enables the RMA to issue task orders for Goodwin's specialized actuarial and underwriting expert review services related to agricultural insurance policies and plans. Under this BPA, Goodwin has already received multiple task orders, including a $29,120 order to review the Harvest Cost Endorsement and a $28,000 order to analyze the Margin Coverage Option. The BPA allows RMA to leverage Goodwin's expertise in assessing financial protections, regulatory compliance, and potential improvements to federal crop insurance programs, supporting the agency's mission of developing effective risk management tools for agricultural producers across the United States.
