Eric Harris

Eric Harris serves as a Project Manager within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, where he leads the end-to-end delivery of federal facility construction and modernization projects. Responsible for managing integrated design-build contracts and facility support services, Eric ensures that federal buildings and land ports of entry meet stringent safety, functionality, and operational standards. His procurement portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical infrastructure initiatives that require coordination across architectural, engineering, and construction disciplines, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle performance and compliance with federal building codes. Eric maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in federal facility upgrades, site development, and security-integrated construction. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, proactive contract administration, and collaborative project execution to ensure timely, high-quality delivery of federal infrastructure. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Eric exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of his acquisitions are reserved for small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, fostering opportunities for small firms to compete for and deliver high-value federal construction projects without competition from large businesses. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new construction, renovation, and modernization of federal office buildings, service facilities, and border infrastructure. Eric’s expertise lies in managing projects requiring coordination of structural, mechanical, and security systems, with an emphasis on sustainable building practices and compliance with GSA’s facility standards.
