Robert Norris

Robert Norris serves as a key procurement lead for the USDA Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 8 office, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services across national forests and remote work centers in the Intermountain West. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracting for construction and facility maintenance projects that ensure operational continuity, environmental compliance, and structural resilience. He specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on public safety and long-term asset sustainability. Norris routinely handles competitive solicitations for civil works, utility systems, and site improvements essential to forest management and public access. He maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including JACKSON EXCAVATION, INC, MEDVED GLOBAL INC, CT ELECTRIC LLC, SPRING FOUNTAIN STUDIOS LLC, and VEREN INDUSTRIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, electrical systems, and environmental site remediation. Norris fosters collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships, prioritizing technical competence, safety compliance, and timely delivery in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. His procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business objectives, as 100% of his acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This unwavering commitment ensures equitable access for small, locally based firms capable of meeting the unique logistical and environmental demands of federal forest lands. He consistently leverages socioeconomic programs to strengthen regional economic resilience while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Norris’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting his specialization in transportation infrastructure, water systems, and climate-controlled facility upgrades. His domain expertise encompasses stormwater management, seismic retrofitting, and utility integration in remote, high-elevation settings, ensuring that contracted work meets both federal engineering standards and ecological preservation mandates.
