James A Morris

James A. Morris serves as a Project Contract Specialist within the PBS R3 Acq Management Division of the General Services Administration, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements for federal facility infrastructure and related services across Region 3. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, Morris ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, efficient, and modernized federal workspaces. His portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, with ancillary focus on specialty trade services and professional training programs essential to facility operations. Morris collaborates with a diverse base of contractors specializing in construction, building systems, and facility management services. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with firms holding expertise in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general building construction, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance, compliance, and competitive pricing. His contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and contractor accountability to ensure high-quality delivery of mission-critical infrastructure projects. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Morris consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly half of his acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, actively leveraging small business set-asides to promote economic opportunity and enhance contractor diversity within the federal construction sector. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he manages complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving design-build delivery, renovation, and new construction. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), demonstrating deep familiarity with building systems integration, code compliance, and facility lifecycle management. His expertise ensures that procurement decisions align with both operational needs and long-term federal real estate strategy.
