LJ Morris, a former contracting officer with FAS’ Region 6 Assisted Acquisition Services and PBS’ Acquisition Management Division’s Services Acquisition Branch, joined GSA Fleet as a supervisory contract specialist Dec. 19, 2021.

In this remote position she manages a team of six contracting professionals who support four GSA Fleet programs. The team specializes in short-term rentals, vehicle purchasing from inventory, and cradle-to-grave procurement for custom vehicles like food trucks, emergency vehicles, trailers, and so on.

What do you look forward to most about this new position?

The ability to positively influence the organization and the people I work with – being an advocate for others.

How do you think your previous experience has prepared you for the new role?

After teaching middle school math, this is a cakewalk. But seriously, the work is the work. It’s the people who make the most difference in my opinion. I had a great supervisor in the Public Buildings Service. He encouraged my growth, permitted me to take on challenges outside of my position description, and provided opportunities to influence processes and people. I am truly grateful for his support.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I have had the fortune and opportunity to work both sides of the house (FAS and PBS). While both are very different, both offer great opportunities, have some really fantastic people, and endless possibilities. I love working in GSA and look forward to many years here.
