Chang serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force under FA5682, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary air base infrastructure and operational communications systems. His portfolio encompasses mission-critical contracts for construction, engineering, and logistical support services essential to global airpower projection. Chang ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s priorities in base resilience, tactical communications, and personnel readiness, frequently overseeing complex, multi-year projects requiring technical coordination across civil engineering and communications domains. Chang maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and LIVINGWORKS EDUCATION USA INC, reflecting a balanced mix of specialized construction, technical training, and infrastructure support vendors. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in expeditionary environments, often leveraging long-term performance histories to mitigate risk and ensure mission continuity. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical merit and past performance. Chang’s procurement approach reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), indicating deep expertise in facility modernization, infrastructure resilience, and utility system upgrades. Chang specializes in procuring design-build services, site-specific engineering analyses, and construction management solutions tailored to austere and high-tempo operational environments, ensuring air base infrastructure meets both military standards and long-term sustainability requirements.
