Joshua Harris

Joshua Harris serves as a Contract Specialist within the Program Executive Office for Special Operations Forces Support and Acquisition (PEO-SOFSA), under the U.S. Special Operations Command. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining the operational readiness of Special Operations Forces. His portfolio encompasses technical infrastructure, mission-critical equipment, and specialized logistics support systems, including secure communications platforms, sensor technologies, and personnel protection systems. Harris ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s strategic imperative to enable rapid, global force projection through innovative and resilient support solutions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Harris maintains a broad network of industrial partners spanning manufacturing, medical equipment supply, and technical services sectors. He engages with both large primes and niche suppliers capable of delivering highly specialized, low-volume, high-precision goods and services tailored to SOF operational environments. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, rapid responsiveness, and supply chain resilience, often requiring customized solutions beyond standard commercial offerings. Harris’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic categorization, though he remains compliant with all small business participation requirements. His approach prioritizes mission need over socioeconomic targets, ensuring the most qualified vendors—regardless of size or certification—are selected based on merit and operational suitability. His primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories: plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors; electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing; medical, dental, and hospital equipment wholesale; construction and mining machinery leasing; and sporting and athletic goods manufacturing. These reflect a unique blend of commercial and defense-grade equipment procurement, underscoring his expertise in acquiring ruggedized, mission-adapted systems for extreme operational conditions.
