Garry L.Harris

Garry L. Harris serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical infrastructure projects that support government facilities. His portfolio is exclusively focused on construction-related contracts under NAICS 236220, encompassing new builds, renovations, and facility upgrades for public-sector clients. Harris oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring transparency, competition, and value for the government. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in the available data, Harris consistently engages with a broad base of qualified construction firms, including general contractors, specialty trade subcontractors, and design-build teams. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contracting to ensure quality, schedule adherence, and safety compliance. He works closely with project engineers and program managers to align contractual requirements with technical specifications and regulatory standards. Harris’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, he maintains compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting requirements and encourages participation through prime-subcontractor teaming arrangements where appropriate. His technical expertise lies in commercial and institutional construction, including office buildings, educational facilities, and public service structures. He is well-versed in building codes, construction specifications (such as CSI MasterFormat), and performance metrics tied to facility lifecycle management. Harris’s domain knowledge ensures that acquisitions meet rigorous standards for durability, accessibility, and energy efficiency.
