Lisa C Hendrick

Lisa C. Hendrick serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical infrastructure solutions that enhance aviation and transit security. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized detection systems, cybersecurity services, and operational support technologies, including explosive detection equipment, irradiation apparatus, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to safeguard the nation’s transportation networks through strategic, compliant, and timely procurement actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Hendrick maintains a dynamic portfolio of vendor partnerships spanning technical service providers, systems integrators, and specialized engineering firms. She engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission-critical capabilities are delivered with operational readiness. Hendrick demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the other half remain open to all competitors. This dual approach ensures robust market competition while actively promoting participation from small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to broaden the supplier base and strengthen resilience within the national security supply chain. Her primary NAICS focus areas include electrical and wiring installation contractors, computing infrastructure providers, data processing services, advertising, and public relations agencies. This diverse technical portfolio underscores her expertise in procuring both hardened security hardware and mission-enabling support services, reflecting the multifaceted nature of modern transportation security operations.
