Kebra L Henderson

Kebra L. Henderson serves as a Contract Specialist with the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), a key procurement hub under the Defense Intelligence Agency. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions supporting classified national intelligence missions, with a focus on technical services that enable real-time data exploitation, systems analysis, and mission-critical operational support. Her portfolio centers on research and development in physical and engineering sciences, custom software development, and advanced systems design—ensuring the Department of Defense maintains technological superiority in intelligence operations. Henderson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract vehicles with evolving intelligence requirements and cybersecurity standards. Her contractor relationships span a diverse ecosystem of professional services firms, including those specializing in engineering, computer systems integration, and technical training. She consistently engages with vendors capable of delivering high-assurance, mission-essential solutions under strict classification protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in defense intelligence environments, particularly those with TS/SCI clearance capabilities and robust cybersecurity compliance frameworks. Henderson’s set-aside strategy prioritizes open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she maintains a deliberate 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, actively encouraging qualified small businesses to compete for opportunities in technical services. Her approach balances mission urgency with federal socioeconomic goals, fostering a competitive landscape that includes small businesses without compromising operational readiness.
