Carl N. Henriksen

Carl N. Henriksen serves as a Procurement GSO, providing strategic oversight and execution of federal acquisitions to support mission-critical operational needs. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing efficient, transparent, and competitive procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts across security, hospitality, communications, and insurance sectors, with a strong emphasis on full and open competition. Henriksen manages the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with agency objectives and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Henriksen maintains a broad network of vendors across multiple industry segments, fostering relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability, with a preference for firms capable of delivering scalable, compliant, and high-integrity services. He engages vendors through diverse contract vehicles, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms, to ensure responsive and flexible service delivery. Henriksen demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 92.9% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 7.1% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. Although no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are currently reflected in his patterns, his consistent use of small business set-asides indicates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses within his acquisition domain. His primary NAICS focus includes Investigation and Personal Background Check Services (561611), reflecting expertise in security and vetting solutions, followed by Hotels and Motels (721110) and Food Service Contractors (722310), indicating a significant operational support component. He also procures specialized communications equipment (334290) and direct property and casualty insurance services (524126), showcasing technical proficiency in both commercial and mission-critical service domains.
