Charlene G. Jeong

Charlene Jeong serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for executing complex procurement actions within the air transportation support sector. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely and cost-effective contract awards. Her work centers on negotiating terms, evaluating vendor proposals, and managing post-award obligations for non-capital infrastructure and technical support services. Jeong specializes in sole-source and competitive negotiated acquisitions, often handling requirements that demand specialized aviation logistics, ground support equipment maintenance, and airfield operations support. Her procurement approach emphasizes risk mitigation, performance-based outcomes, and alignment with federal aviation safety standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Jeong engages with a broad spectrum of vendors qualified to deliver niche air transportation support services. She routinely works with firms possessing deep domain expertise in aviation ground operations, cargo handling systems, and airside maintenance support. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for vendors with proven track records in regulatory compliance, safety certifications, and operational scalability within federally regulated environments. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, accountability, and performance metrics tied to service-level agreements. Jeong’s procurement activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 100% of her awards classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and operational capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes mission-critical performance over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring that contract awards are driven by vendor competence and service reliability. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 488190—Other Support Activities for Air Transportation. This includes services such as aircraft towing, de-icing operations, baggage handling systems, airfield lighting maintenance, and air traffic control support infrastructure. Jeong possesses specialized knowledge of aviation regulatory frameworks and technical specifications governing air transportation support, making her a key liaison between operational agencies and qualified service providers in this highly regulated domain.
