Denese Y Henson

Denese Y. Henson serves as a Procurement Management Specialist (PMS) at W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir, a U.S. Army installation support organization under the Department of Defense. In this role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-enabling services critical to the sustainment of military infrastructure, including facility maintenance, logistical support, and ancillary operations such as janitorial, landscaping, HVAC, and religious services. Her procurement activities directly support operational readiness by ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and functional standards across Army installations. Henson routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, prioritizing performance-based service contracts that align with Army installation resilience goals. Henson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility services, including Discount Tree Service, Inc.; ACE Uniform Services, Inc.; Liberty Communications, Inc.; and Special Event Flooring Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche, service-oriented vendors capable of delivering specialized, on-site support under time-sensitive conditions. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven track records in military installation environments, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Henson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 11.1% designated for women-owned small businesses. Her procurement strategy actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand vendor diversity and enhance competition, consistently prioritizing small business eligibility and capability over broad set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488991 (Packing and Crating), reflecting specialized logistics and material handling needs, alongside 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), underscoring her expertise in facility support services. She also procures niche services related to building systems, uniform logistics, and specialized event infrastructure, demonstrating technical fluency in non-traditional defense contracting domains that support daily garrison operations.
