Ted L Cha

MAJ Ted L. Cha serves as a Contract Specialist within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure support contracts critical to sustaining Army installations across the Western United States. He executes acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize military facilities, ensure environmental compliance, and maintain operational readiness through resilient infrastructure development. His portfolio primarily consists of complex, performance-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on heavy civil engineering and roofing systems essential to facility lifecycle management. MAJ Cha maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of whom have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering installation support services under time-sensitive, mission-critical conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes contractor reliability, safety compliance, and adherence to federal construction standards, fostering collaborative partnerships with firms experienced in federal environmental and labor regulations. He prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in Western U.S. terrain and climate-specific construction challenges. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring robust participation from small businesses, including HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. While no set-aside is mandated for the other half, he consistently encourages small business subcontracting and teaming arrangements to broaden market access and enhance competition. MAJ Cha specializes in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors), focusing on the procurement of site development, earthwork, drainage systems, and high-performance roofing solutions for military barracks, training facilities, and logistics hubs. His technical expertise lies in integrating sustainable construction practices, stormwater management, and energy-efficient building envelopes into federally funded infrastructure projects.
