His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting for construction, facility maintenance, and logistical support services, ensuring that training and operational units have functional, durable facilities and reliable equipment support systems. Chae specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements under FAR Part 36 and Part 19, frequently handling construction renovations, industrial facility upgrades, and related service contracts essential to Army National Guard readiness. While specific contractor names are not available, Chae’s procurement patterns indicate a strong emphasis on small business engagement, with over 80% of awards structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
