Brooke J Henderson

Brooke J. Henderson serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Software Sector under the Department of the Army, driving the acquisition of mission-critical software systems, secure communications infrastructure, and advanced information technology platforms essential to Army modernization and battlefield readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions across the software and communications lifecycle, Henderson oversees the procurement of network resilience tools, intelligence processing platforms, and command-and-control systems that support distributed operational environments. Their work directly enables the Army’s digital transformation by ensuring timely delivery of secure, scalable, and interoperable IT capabilities aligned with DoD standards. Henderson maintains strategic relationships with a select group of prime contractors including British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Liberty Communications, Inc., and Southwestern Industrial Contractors & Riggers, Inc., reflecting a balanced approach to engaging both large defense-capable firms and specialized technical vendors. These partnerships are characterized by sustained performance, technical compliance, and adaptability to evolving operational requirements, particularly in wireless communications and embedded systems integration. The contracting pattern indicates a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in delivering secure, field-deployable solutions under stringent military specifications. Henderson’s procurement strategy reflects a deliberate and equal commitment to open competition and small business participation, with approximately half of all acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strong emphasis on fostering innovation and capacity within the defense industrial base, particularly among firms certified under socioeconomic programs such as HUBZone and SDVOSB, while maintaining robust competition with large primes. The agency’s primary NAICS focus areas—334220 (wireless communications equipment), 541990 (professional technical services), 611430 (management training), and 335929 (communication wire manufacturing)—reveal deep expertise in procuring radio and telecommunications hardware, mission-specific technical consulting, and workforce development services. Henderson’s portfolio centers on integrated systems that bridge hardware, software, and human performance, ensuring the Army’s communications architecture remains agile, secure, and operationally effective.
