Brooke Henderson

Brooke J. Henderson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-apg Cont Ct Software Sector under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical software and information technology acquisitions. Her work directly supports Army modernization initiatives by securing secure, scalable communications platforms, data infrastructure, and computer facilities management services essential for battlefield readiness and command and control operations. Henderson specializes in full lifecycle contract management for complex IT systems, including cloud-enabled platforms, network resilience tools, and mission-critical software solutions that enhance intelligence processing and distributed operations. She maintains strategic relationships with key contractors including British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Liberty Communications, Inc., and Southwest Industrial Contractors & Riggers, Inc., engaging with both large prime contractors and specialized technical vendors to deliver integrated IT capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and risk-mitigated contracting methods, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of supporting rapid deployment and secure system integration in austere environments. Henderson exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her portfolio structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on expanding opportunities for small businesses. While she frequently leverages small business participation, she also utilizes no-set-aside mechanisms to ensure access to specialized technical expertise when required, demonstrating flexibility aligned with mission urgency and capability gaps. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541513—Computer Facilities Management Services—indicating deep specialization in managing end-to-end IT infrastructure support, including data center operations, systems integration, cybersecurity compliance, and managed services for mission-critical Army networks. This technical domain expertise ensures that all acquisitions align with DoD standards for resilience, interoperability, and sustainment of secure digital environments.
