Joshua Norris

Joshua Norris serves as the primary contracting lead for the PBS Project Delivery Capital Construction – Branch East within the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service. In this role, he oversees the acquisition and contract management of federal capital construction projects for mission-critical judicial, diplomatic, and government facilities. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering complex construction and design contracts aligned with federal building standards and security requirements. Norris manages end-to-end procurement cycles for large-scale, high-integrity projects, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and GSA’s mandate to deliver durable, secure, and sustainable infrastructure. Norris maintains strong, recurring relationships with leading construction firms including Brasfield & Gorrie LLC, McGough Construction Co., LLC, and Pinnacle Construction Development Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service general contractors capable of delivering complex commercial and institutional projects under tight timelines and stringent federal specifications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and contractor accountability throughout design-build and construction phases. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 43% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), each accounting for 42.9% of activity, underscoring his expertise in integrated design-build delivery models. He also oversees landscaping services under NAICS 561730 to ensure site integration and environmental compliance. Norris’s technical domain expertise lies in federal facility construction, encompassing structural systems, security hardening, energy-efficient design, and sustainable building practices.
