Carla Denise Henderson

Carla Denise Henderson serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Tulsa office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering, facility maintenance, and environmental services critical to sustaining Army installations. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and administering contracts that support infrastructure modernization, recreational facility operations, and regulatory compliance across military and public lands. She specializes in complex, multi-year task orders requiring integrated services such as heavy construction, janitorial support, and land management, ensuring alignment with Army installation readiness and sustainability goals. Henderson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including BL Harbert International LLC, McMillen, Inc., Alberici Constructors Inc., Mckenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Perikin Enterprises LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in industrial construction, site development, and facility operations, often leveraging long-term indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to streamline service delivery across multiple installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, quality assurance, and contractor accountability under federal acquisition regulations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Henderson consistently structures procurements with a 60% total small business set-aside rate under FAR 19.5, prioritizing economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining operational reliability, ensuring that small businesses are meaningfully integrated into mission-critical support functions. Her procurement focus centers on four primary NAICS categories: 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), 561730 (Landscaping Services), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 336112 (Military Aircraft Manufacturing). This blend reflects a unique integration of civil infrastructure development with facility sustainment and environmental stewardship, requiring technical expertise in construction management, environmental compliance, and facility operations. Henderson’s work ensures that Army installations remain functional, compliant, and resilient through strategically targeted acquisitions.
