Joshua Norris

Joshua Norris serves as the primary procurement lead for the PBS Project Delivery Capital Construction – Branch East within the General Services Administration, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical federal capital construction projects for judicial, diplomatic, and other high-security federal facilities. He manages the full lifecycle of design-build and construction contracts, ensuring compliance with federal building standards, sustainability requirements, and security protocols. His role is central to delivering durable, functionally optimized infrastructure that supports the nation’s most sensitive operations, with a focus on complex, high-stakes construction initiatives requiring integrated project delivery methods and rigorous performance-based contracting. Norris maintains strong, long-standing relationships with a select group of top-tier construction firms, including Brasfield & Gorrie LLC, McGough Construction Co., LLC, and Pinnacle Construction Development Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, large-scale commercial builders with proven expertise in federal construction environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, design-build delivery models, and collaborative project management, fostering consistent engagement with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in meeting stringent federal building codes and security specifications. Norris’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside strategy, indicating a deliberate focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in award structure, the agency’s reliance on large, experienced contractors aligns with the complexity and scale of its projects, which demand specialized capabilities typically found among established general contractors with federal construction track records. His primary acquisition focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, major renovations, and modernization of federal facilities. He specializes in procurements involving structural systems, mechanical and electrical integration, security infrastructure, and sustainable building technologies, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical and regulatory demands of federal capital construction.
