Goodwin International LLC

Goodwin International LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Fairfax, Virginia, delivers cross-cultural communication training, career counseling, negotiation skills instruction, and job search program support to the Department of State's Foreign Service Institute as a prime contractor across 162 purchase orders. The firm operates exclusively in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Goodwin International is a sole proprietorship and limited liability company structured as a for-profit organization. The vendor's entire recent award history concentrates on the Foreign Service Institute, where it has maintained a continuous training relationship since at least 2007. Capability work centers on professional development for foreign affairs personnel, including "Negotiation Skills for Your Transition" courses, cross-cultural communication training (contract MQ802), career counseling and job search seminars (Joint Services Training Program), and transition support for departing or reassigning State Department staff. Representative recent awards include a $10,000 firm fixed-price purchase order for training services (awarded August 1, 2024), an $8,500 purchase order for training and administrative modification (awarded November 1, 2024), and a $2,812.50 purchase order for training (awarded March 12, 2026). All work is performed in Arlington, Virginia.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Foreign Service Institute accounts for 97 percent of awards (162 of 163 total) and effectively 100 percent of combined potential value at $7.4 million, with the Department of State proper representing a single $3 thousand outlier. Activity volume has declined — four awards in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — though the vendor has sustained its FSI relationship across decades. Within the next twenty-four months, only one award ($3 thousand potential value) reaches ultimate completion, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Goodwin International places task orders under five FSI-administered blanket purchase agreements. The largest vehicle is BPA SFSIAQ11A4015 (66 task orders, $126 thousand combined potential value), followed by Indefinite Delivery Contract SFSIAQ08D0001 (24 task orders, $95 thousand combined potential value) and BPA SFSIAQ10A3016 (10 task orders, $378 thousand combined potential value). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; no subcontract footprint is present in the source data. Award classification centers on professional and management development training (154 awards under NAICS 541612) and education-training-related services under PSC Education/Training codes. Combined dollars obligated total $913 thousand against $7.4 million combined potential value, reflecting typical FSI purchase-order payment patterns where ceiling values exceed actual invoiced amounts.

Goodwin International LLC provides counseling, negotiations, cross cultural communications and leadership training to Government professionals and senior leaderships.
