Elizabeth Henderson

Elizabeth Henderson serves as a Contract Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and supports mission-critical infrastructure projects through timely and transparent contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction and building systems services, with a focus on delivering reliable, code-compliant solutions for government facilities. Henderson’s work directly supports operational readiness by securing essential services that maintain and enhance the physical infrastructure of federal assets. While specific contractor names are not available, Henderson maintains a robust network of vendors specializing in building systems and construction trades. She routinely engages with firms possessing expertise in mechanical, electrical, and envelope systems, fostering long-term partnerships with both large contractors and qualified small businesses. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, performance-based outcomes, and accountability, ensuring that contractors meet technical specifications and delivery timelines while adhering to federal standards. Henderson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with over one-third of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly one-tenth reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). Her consistent use of these set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities and to strengthen the pipeline of qualified small business vendors in the construction sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), complemented by significant activity in commercial building construction (236220) and related trades including drywall, insulation, and painting (238310 and 238320). This specialization underscores her technical expertise in integrated building systems and her ability to manage complex, multi-trade construction projects requiring coordination across specialty contractors and performance-based specifications.
