Michaela Hendley

Michaela Hendley serves as a key procurement lead within the Acquisition Services unit of the United States Government Publishing Office, where she manages the acquisition of specialized building systems critical to the modernization and operational integrity of federal facilities in Washington, D.C. Her responsibilities center on the procurement of commercial and institutional construction components, particularly those related to metal window and door manufacturing, ensuring compliance with federal building standards and lifecycle sustainability goals. She oversees full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—for high-priority infrastructure projects that support the GPO’s mission to maintain secure, efficient, and accessible government publishing infrastructure. Hendley maintains consistent, long-term relationships with core contractors F.L. Pinto Companies, LLC and Compass 360 Solutions LLC, both of which provide specialized fabrication, installation, and integration services for high-performance metal fenestration systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, technical validation, and rigorous quality control, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in reliability and compliance with federal construction codes. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for proven capability over broad competition, ensuring continuity in the delivery of mission-critical building components. Hendley’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach prioritizes technical suitability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, high-volume manufacturing capacity that meets exacting federal standards. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 332321—Metal Window and Door Manufacturing—where she procures custom-engineered, energy-efficient, and security-compliant metal fenestration systems for use in historic and newly constructed federal buildings. Her technical expertise lies in specifying materials, glazing, weatherproofing, and structural integration requirements that meet GSA and ICC building codes, ensuring durability, thermal performance, and long-term maintenance efficiency in high-traffic government facilities.
