Elizabeth R. Henderson

Elizabeth R. Henderson supports the W39L USA Readiness Center under the Department of the Army by managing procurement activities critical to sustaining military readiness through professional, logistical, and infrastructure services. She oversees the acquisition of specialized consulting, technical support, and transportation-related services that directly enable training readiness, facility sustainment, and operational infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on professional services contracts and equipment leasing arrangements aligned with the Army’s modernization and force preparation goals, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant, transparent contracting practices. Henderson maintains a primary working relationship with KPH Construction Corp, a key vendor delivering construction and facility support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in military-compatible infrastructure and logistics, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence. While she engages a limited number of core vendors, her approach emphasizes accountability, compliance with FAR standards, and consistent evaluation of contractor performance metrics to ensure mission alignment. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition within the small business community. Henderson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532120 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing), reflecting a significant need for mobility and equipment support assets, followed by NAICS 485510 (Charter Bus Industry) for personnel transport and NAICS 611512 (Flight Training) for aviation readiness support. She also procures professional services under NAICS 541990 and construction services under NAICS 236220, indicating broad expertise in logistics, training support, and facility maintenance domains critical to Army readiness operations.
