Chin-Jen Chang

Chin-Jen LL Chang serves as an OASAM Contract Specialist, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions in support of technical and educational services. In this role, Chang ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR and socioeconomic requirements, while facilitating timely and efficient contract award and administration. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality training and operational support services through competitive and transparent contracting processes. Chang routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for professional services, particularly in workforce development and administrative support domains. Chang’s contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation and vendor engagement, fostering relationships with a diverse pool of service providers specializing in technical education and management consulting. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Chang consistently engages with firms capable of delivering curriculum development, instructional design, and operational support services. Their procurement pattern reflects a preference for open competition, with a balanced emphasis on small business inclusion and performance-based contract management. Chang demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 16.9% of awards directed toward socioeconomic set-asides, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. Although the majority of acquisitions are conducted as non-set-aside procurements (83%), Chang actively encourages small business participation through outreach and simplified acquisition procedures, aligning with federal goals to expand equitable access to government contracting opportunities. The primary focus of Chang’s procurement activity centers on NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), reflecting a deep specialization in workforce training, vocational education, and professional certification programs. Secondary areas include NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services) and NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), indicating expertise in procuring organizational development, operational efficiency services, and non-degree educational programming. This technical domain expertise positions Chang as a key resource for acquisitions requiring pedagogical design, compliance training, and institutional support services.
