Samantha Henderson

Samantha Henderson serves as a Contract Administrator for the FA4625 509 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain Air Force infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of service contracts spanning facility maintenance, environmental remediation, logistics support, and specialized technical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with strategic base resilience goals. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain secure, functional, and resilient installations critical to airpower readiness. Henderson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, N2GRATE GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC, and AZTEK COMPUTERS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of construction, transportation, IT, and technical services providers, with a focus on vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical support under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Henderson consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 62% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition within the defense support ecosystem, aligning with Department of the Air Force socioeconomic objectives. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a clear preference for small business engagement without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, indicating a broad-based commitment to small business capability development. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Drycleaning and Laundry Services, Hazardous Waste Collection, Charter Bus Industry, Independent Artists/Writers/Performers, and Other Personal Services—reflecting an unconventional but mission-critical portfolio of niche support services essential to daily base operations. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring non-traditional, facility-sustaining services that directly contribute to installation functionality and quality-of-life support for Air Force personnel.
