He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on clinical infrastructure, diagnostic equipment, and medical technology services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DHA’s strategic priorities in modernizing healthcare delivery.

Hendrickson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized medical technology providers, clinical support services, and advanced diagnostic equipment suppliers. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and adherence to defense-grade security and quality standards, fostering long-term collaborations that ensure continuity of care and equipment readiness across global military medical facilities. Hendrickson’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical specificity and operational urgency, where the selection of vendors is determined primarily by capability, compliance, and performance rather than socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 712110 (Museums) and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), the latter of which dominates his activity. He specializes in acquiring precision surgical instruments, diagnostic devices, and medical technology systems essential to battlefield medicine and clinical care environments, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical specifications and regulatory frameworks governing defense medical equipment procurement.
