Joshua Lee Norris

Joshua Lee Norris serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force supporting Air University’s mission to advance military education and operational readiness. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for technical, educational, and facility-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. His portfolio includes contracts for immersive training technologies, audiovisual systems, and infrastructure modernization, requiring close coordination with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements and award recommendations. Norris cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses and specialized contractors in simulation, aviation support, and educational technology. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, his approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor engagement to foster innovation and reliability. He frequently works with firms offering customized solutions for command and control environments, reinforcing a procurement culture grounded in transparency and performance-based outcomes. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Norris consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 62.5% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to empower small businesses across multiple categories, including HUBZone and SDVOSB firms, aligning with DoD’s broader goals for equitable access and workforce development. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), 488190 (air transportation support), 511130 (software publishing), 511210 (other information services), and 532490 (commercial machinery leasing). These reflect a specialized domain expertise in educational infrastructure, simulation software, and aviation support systems, positioning him at the intersection of instructional technology and mission-critical logistics within the Air Force’s training ecosystem.
