Felicia Henderson

Felicia Henderson serves as a key procurement lead within the Army Materiel Command (AMC), driving the acquisition of mission-critical software solutions that directly support the Department of the Army’s modernization and readiness objectives. She specializes in securing advanced digital capabilities—including cyber training environments, artillery modernization systems, and embedded software for tactical platforms—ensuring alignment with AMC’s mandate to equip and sustain the force through integrated logistics and digital transformation. Her portfolio centers on software publishers and system integrators delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable applications that enhance soldier lethality and operational resilience. Henderson collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense technology vendors, primarily software publishers and systems engineering firms that specialize in defense-grade applications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in secure software development, though she actively engages with emerging vendors capable of delivering rapid prototyping and agile delivery methodologies. Her working relationships are characterized by structured competition, rigorous technical evaluation, and close coordination with engineering and acquisition support teams to ensure compliance with DoD cybersecurity and data standards. Henderson’s procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her approach ensures that all vendors—regardless of size—are evaluated on technical merit, compliance, and mission alignment, reinforcing AMC’s focus on capability over classification. Her primary NAICS focus is 513210 (Software Publishers), underscoring her specialization in procuring custom and commercial-off-the-shelf software for military applications. She routinely acquires secure software development services, simulation and training systems, data analytics platforms, and mission-critical embedded systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the defense software lifecycle—from requirements definition through secure deployment and sustainment.
