Kurt Ennis

Kurt Ennis serves as a key procurement lead within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R00 Special Programs Division under the General Services Administration, where he oversees the acquisition of high-integrity construction services critical to national security infrastructure. His responsibilities center on managing complex, mission-critical contracts for the design and construction of secure federal facilities, particularly those supporting border security and radiation detection systems at land ports of entry. Ennis specializes in full lifecycle procurement of commercial and institutional building projects, ensuring compliance with stringent federal security standards and integrating advanced building systems that meet DHS and DOE operational requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Ennis consistently engages a broad base of qualified construction firms capable of delivering secure, high-performance facilities under strict federal oversight. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, design-build delivery methods, and rigorous pre-qualification protocols to ensure contractors possess the technical expertise in secure construction, radiation-shielded structures, and integrated security systems. He fosters long-term partnerships with firms experienced in federal facility modernization and has a demonstrated preference for vendors with proven track records in sensitive infrastructure environments. Ennis maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all acquisitions, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 and prioritizing participation from small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms. This unwavering commitment ensures equitable access to high-value federal construction opportunities and supports the GSA’s broader socioeconomic goals. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse, capable small business ecosystem capable of meeting the technical demands of secure facility construction. His primary focus is on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—with expertise in procuring projects requiring advanced security integration, structural hardening, and compliance with federal building codes for high-risk environments. He routinely manages acquisitions involving secure perimeter systems, controlled access facilities, and radiation-hardened infrastructure, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in mission-critical construction for federal security agencies.
