Kevin Morris serves as a Contracting Officer at the PBS R1 Administration Support Center-NH, part of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he manages the acquisition of construction and facility modernization services across federal infrastructure in the Northeast region. His portfolio centers on ensuring the safety, functionality, and preservation of historic and operational federal buildings through competitively awarded contracts for renovation, repair, and capital improvement projects. He exercises full contracting authority under FAR Part 36, overseeing the full lifecycle of construction-related acquisitions—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal building standards and sustainability goals. Morris cultivates strong partnerships with a diverse base of specialty trade contractors, primarily small businesses with expertise in commercial and institutional construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and painting systems.

A staunch advocate for small business participation, Morris directs 98.1% of his acquisitions toward Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity in federal contracting. He prioritizes contracts awarded to small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs, ensuring broad market access and economic opportunity for underserved entrepreneurs in the construction sector. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in specialty trades including electrical (238210), plumbing and HVAC (238220), and painting (238320). He possesses specialized expertise in managing complex, multi-trade renovation projects that require coordination of skilled labor, historic preservation standards, and energy-efficient retrofitting, making him a key steward of federal infrastructure integrity in the region.
