Jackie E. Henderson

Jackie E. Henderson serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to maintain and modernize critical military infrastructure. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of construction and facility support contracts, Henderson oversees acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation that ensure operational readiness across federal installations. Their work centers on securing essential services for building maintenance, environmental remediation, and civil engineering support, with a strong emphasis on compliance, schedule adherence, and mission-critical delivery timelines. Henderson maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, and MATTHEWS GROUP INC, among others. These relationships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil works, maritime operations, and institutional facility services. The contracting approach prioritizes performance history and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that ensure quality and continuity across multi-year project cycles. A defining feature of Henderson’s procurement strategy is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 93.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on economic inclusion and workforce development, consistently channeling opportunities to small disadvantaged businesses and local enterprises. While 8(a) competed set-asides represent a minor portion of activity, the overall pattern underscores a robust, sustained dedication to socioeconomic contracting goals. The primary technical domains include janitorial services (NAICS 561720), plumbing and HVAC systems (NAICS 238220), and broader building support services (NAICS 561790). Henderson’s expertise lies in procuring facility maintenance, environmental cleaning, and specialty trade contracting services critical to sustaining military readiness. Their portfolio demonstrates deep familiarity with the operational demands of federal installations and the specialized requirements of institutional facility management.
