Angela K. Zang

Angela K. Zang serves as a key procurement lead within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications infrastructure to support Department of Defense global communications requirements. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for secure, high-capacity network solutions, including fiber-optic deployment, virtual private network services, and legacy system modernization. She ensures alignment with DISA’s strategic goals of enhancing network resilience, interoperability, and cybersecurity across military and federal operations, routinely engaging with industry partners to deliver scalable, standards-compliant telecom capabilities. Zang maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships are centered on the delivery of secure, enterprise-grade telecommunications services, with a focus on engineered solutions for DoD-wide connectivity. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term operational sustainment, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in compliance and mission readiness. Her contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a primary focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical complexity and scale of DISA’s telecommunications requirements, with no formal reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Zang’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS Code 517919—Other Telecommunications—which encompasses managed network services, backbone infrastructure, and specialized telecom integration. She procures advanced solutions including SD-WAN, encrypted point-to-point links, terrestrial and satellite-backed connectivity, and secure cloud-enabled telecom platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in next-generation defense communications architecture and infrastructure modernization.
