O'cie Hendricks

O’cie Hendricks serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-AK Wainwright, a critical sustainment unit of the Department of the Army responsible for maintaining operational readiness at Fort Wainwright and other remote Alaskan installations. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of facility, logistics, and support contracts, Hendricks ensures the delivery of essential infrastructure, base services, and mission-enabling capabilities in a challenging high-latitude environment. Their acquisitions focus on sustaining garrison operations through timely contract execution, environmental compliance, and resilient supply chain management tailored to Arctic conditions. Hendricks maintains a primary working relationship with CLEAN & SERENE LLC, the dominant contractor in their portfolio, reflecting a consistent reliance on a single trusted vendor for core support services. While other contractors contribute minimally, the relationship with CLEAN & SERENE LLC suggests a preference for established, performance-based partnerships with proven track records in remote-area operations. This pattern indicates a risk-averse contracting approach prioritizing reliability and continuity over broad competition in a geographically isolated theater. Hendricks exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating strong support for small business participation. The remaining 60% are open to all competitors, indicating flexibility to meet urgent operational needs while still prioritizing small business inclusion where feasible. No other set-aside categories—such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—are dominant, suggesting a focus on broad small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Their procurement portfolio is evenly distributed across five NAICS categories: Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, Food Service Contractors, Other Technical and Trade Schools, Inland Water Freight Transportation, and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. This reflects a multidisciplinary operational support role, procuring aviation logistics, dining services, workforce training, inland waterborne resupply, and specialized aircraft components—all critical to sustaining military operations in Alaska’s austere environment.
