Joshua F. Berger

Joshua F. Berger serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency of the Department of Defense responsible for enabling enterprise-wide administrative and operational efficiency. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction and infrastructure services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DoD policy. His responsibilities include solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration for mission-critical facility and infrastructure projects that sustain DoD’s institutional backbone. Berger’s portfolio is primarily focused on complex, high-stakes acquisitions requiring technical precision and rigorous oversight to support the modernization and resilience of defense facilities. Berger maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in federal construction and institutional support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in accountability and quality delivery. His procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with WHS’s mission to prioritize efficiency and scale in institutional contracting, rather than socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all awards adhere strictly to fair and transparent competition standards. Berger’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for 83.3% of his activity, alongside NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) at 16.7%. He specializes in procuring construction services for military administrative facilities, maintenance upgrades, and civil engineering infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with federal building codes, safety standards, and defense-specific facility requirements. His expertise ensures that construction projects meet the DoD’s operational readiness and sustainability goals.
