Curtis C. Chang

Curtis C. Chang serves as Branch Chief at W2SN Endist Honolulu under the Department of the Army, where he leads the planning, solicitation, and execution of civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition programs critical to sustaining Army garrisons and training facilities across Hawaii. Responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of construction and engineering contracts, he ensures alignment with Army resilience goals, including modernization of water, wastewater, and utility systems. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, construction management, and professional services contracts, requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. Chang’s leadership directly supports operational readiness by delivering mission-critical infrastructure that enhances base sustainability and force protection. Chang maintains a strong working relationship with CONTI FEDERAL SERVICES, LLC, a trusted prime contractor frequently engaged for complex civil works and facility upgrades. His procurement approach favors established contractors with proven expertise in military infrastructure, while maintaining open competition to ensure value and performance. Vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment with Army standards, and consistent adherence to quality control and safety protocols required for sensitive defense installations. While the majority of his acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Chang consistently reserves 12.5% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. This balanced approach prioritizes capability and capacity while fostering a competitive small business ecosystem within the defense construction sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting deep expertise in transportation infrastructure, site development, and utility systems. He also regularly procures architectural services (541310) and new single-family housing construction (236115), underscoring a comprehensive approach to military community infrastructure. Chang’s technical domain centers on resilient, mission-aligned civil works that meet stringent military performance and environmental standards.
