Ben Henson

Ben Henson serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-rsa office of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s aerial and missile defense systems. His role centers on securing mission-critical administrative and management consulting services to support program execution, resource allocation, and operational readiness for platforms including the UH-60 Black Hawk, AH-64 Apache, and integrated air and missile defense architectures. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and defense acquisition regulations. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Henson engages with a broad spectrum of federal contractors specializing in defense program management, systems engineering, and defense logistics consulting. His procurement patterns reflect a reliance on firms with deep expertise in military aerospace program oversight, capability integration, and defense acquisition reform initiatives. Vendor partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, prioritizing technical proficiency and compliance with DoD acquisition standards. Henson’s office exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation may occur organically through market-driven competition rather than targeted set-asides. His procurement portfolio is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541611, focusing on administrative management and general management consulting services. He procures high-level advisory support for defense program planning, acquisition strategy development, risk assessment, and systems integration management—domain expertise critical to sustaining the Army’s evolving aerospace and missile defense infrastructure.
