Alice R. Hendrickson

Alice R. Hendrickson serves as a Senior Procurement Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions across industrial and technical domains. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement strategy by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering competitive bidding, and delivering mission-critical equipment and systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of specialized manufacturing components, fluid power systems, measuring and control devices, and industrial conveying equipment, often requiring technical evaluation and engineering input. She works closely with program managers and technical specialists to define requirements, develop solicitation documents, and evaluate proposals under full and open competition. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established manufacturers and wholesale distributors with proven capability in precision industrial equipment. She engages with a broad base of vendors, including both large-tier suppliers and small businesses, emphasizing technical qualification, past performance, and compliance with quality standards. Her contracting approach prioritizes transparency, competition, and risk mitigation, with a strong focus on ensuring deliverables meet stringent performance and durability criteria. Ms. Hendrickson exhibits a strong preference for full and open competition, with 97.1% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. Only 2.9% of her awards are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. This pattern suggests she prioritizes technical suitability and market availability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements when applicable. Her primary NAICS focus includes 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), 333996 (Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing), 333922 (Conveyor and Conveying Equipment Manufacturing), 332996 (Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), and 423410 (Photographic Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers). She specializes in procuring industrial automation components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, material handling equipment, and precision instrumentation, demonstrating deep familiarity with engineering specifications and technical standards in these domains.
