William D. Henkel serves as a secondary procurement representative within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code 36C776), supporting the modernization of veteran healthcare infrastructure through facility construction and engineering acquisitions. Though not the primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating complex, mission-critical procurements aligned with the agency’s mandate to upgrade medical facilities, enhance clinical space capacity, and integrate advanced electronic health records systems. His work primarily involves supporting the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and professional services contracts, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific facility standards. Henkel maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in healthcare facility construction and engineering services. His procurement patterns indicate collaborative, team-based contract execution, often involving multi-disciplinary vendors capable of delivering integrated design-build and renovation solutions for high-acuity medical environments. His contracting activity shows a strong emphasis on service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, accounting for nearly 39% of awards, with a secondary commitment to total small business participation at 3.4%. While the majority of procurements (57.6%) are unrestricted, his consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to prioritize veteran-owned enterprises in mission-critical infrastructure projects. Henkel’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep involvement in the design, renovation, and modernization of VA medical facilities. He routinely oversees acquisitions for structural upgrades, electrical systems integration, and architectural support services, demonstrating technical proficiency in healthcare construction standards and federal facility compliance protocols.
