Paris N Marshall

Paris N. Marshall serves as a Contract Specialist (Contractor) within the Public Buildings Service’s R00 Acquisition Support Division at the General Services Administration, where they play a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements for professional and technical services critical to federal facility lifecycle management. Responsible for managing the full contract lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—Marshall supports the agency’s mission to advance sustainable construction, energy resilience, and workforce development through compliant, efficient contracting practices. Their portfolio primarily encompasses architectural, engineering, and management consulting services essential to the design, renovation, and operational efficiency of federal buildings. Marshall maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including architectural firms, technical consultants, and professional service providers, fostering transparent, competitive procurement processes that align with FAR guidelines. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they consistently engage both large professional service firms and small business vendors, emphasizing fair competition and performance-based outcomes. Their working relationships are characterized by proactive stakeholder coordination, clear contract requirements, and a focus on long-term service delivery rather than transactional engagements. Marshall demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 27% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses, including 23.7% as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 3.4% competitively awarded to 8(a) participants. While the majority of contracts remain open to all offerors (72.9%), their consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access and promote equitable participation in federal infrastructure contracting. Their procurement focus centers on NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 541618 (Management Consulting), reflecting deep expertise in facility planning, sustainability consulting, and operational efficiency services. They regularly procure technical support for building modernization, energy performance contracting, and workforce training initiatives tied to federal real property management.
