Sheila Henley

Sheila E. Henley serves as a Procurement Technician at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she supports the strategic acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure, training equipment, and operational support services essential to federal law enforcement readiness. Her role involves executing full lifecycle procurement actions under FAR guidelines, from solicitation development and vendor evaluation to contract administration and closeout. She primarily handles acquisitions related to facility modernization, security systems, and training environment enhancements, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning purchases with FLETC’s operational priorities. Henley maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting a focus on specialized vendors capable of delivering custom-built facilities, maintenance services, equipment, and marine training assets. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven experience in law enforcement and government environments, fostering reliable, repeat partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Her contracting activity reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 31% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 6.9% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, Henley actively integrates socioeconomic programs into her procurement strategy, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for certified small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), supporting on-site lodging for trainees and instructors, followed by NAICS 512110 (Motion Picture and Video Production) for training media development and NAICS 611430 (Professional Training) for curriculum support services. This specialized domain expertise enables her to effectively procure complex, mission-aligned goods and services tailored to the unique demands of federal law enforcement training infrastructure.
