Charlotte A. Henry

Charlotte A. Henry serves as a Contract Specialist within the Property Management - Co division of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Prisons, where she manages the acquisition of critical behavioral health and reentry support services for incarcerated and transitioning populations. Her role centers on ensuring compliant, efficient procurement of residential and outpatient treatment programs that align with federal standards for correctional healthcare. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—focusing primarily on non-medical residential care facilities that provide structured mental health and substance use disorder interventions. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to expand access to evidence-based reentry services and reduce recidivism through coordinated, community-based care. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Henry maintains consistent partnerships with service providers specializing in behavioral health programming, case management, and transitional housing. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, programmatic compliance, and adherence to DOJ operational protocols. She engages with both large service integrators and niche providers capable of delivering trauma-informed, culturally competent care within secure and community-based environments, ensuring alignment with federal correctional health benchmarks. Henry’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomic designations, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes mission-critical service delivery over socioeconomic targeting, while still ensuring equitable access for qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 623990—Other Residential Care Facilities—encompassing non-medical residential treatment centers, halfway houses, and reentry support programs. She specializes in acquiring services that integrate counseling, life skills training, employment readiness, and continuity-of-care coordination, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of corrections, behavioral health, and community reintegration infrastructure.
