Dakota Hendrix

Dakota Hendrix serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting infrastructure resilience and operational readiness at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Responsible for managing mission-critical construction, maintenance, and facility modernization contracts, Hendrix ensures compliance with Department of Defense standards while advancing base-wide infrastructure initiatives. Their portfolio includes acquisitions for airfield systems, utility infrastructure, environmental compliance, and secure facility services, aligning closely with the agency’s strategic priorities in sustaining and upgrading military installations. Hendrix maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and civil works, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for specialized facility maintenance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation support, and ML Armaments LLC for security and defense-related equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering specialized services under tight operational timelines and stringent security protocols. Set-aside preferences indicate a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of procurements designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while 60% remain open competition. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements, favoring broad eligibility over narrow socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Hendrix’s procurement focus centers on five primary NAICS categories: 334118 for computer peripheral equipment, 541614 for logistics and process consulting, 811310 for industrial machinery repair, 335313 for switchgear and switchboard apparatus, and 561621 for security systems services. These reflect deep technical expertise in facility systems integration, critical infrastructure support, and defense-adjacent commercial services, ensuring that acquisitions meet both operational and regulatory demands across a complex military environment.
