Solomon Chang

Solomon Chang serves as a key procurement lead within USAID/Bangladesh, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that advance the agency’s mission of sustainable development and institutional capacity building. He oversees the full lifecycle of consulting services contracts, ensuring alignment with U.S. foreign assistance priorities in agriculture, governance, urban infrastructure, and environmental resilience. His work directly supports technical assistance programs under initiatives such as Feed the Future, focusing on evidence-based interventions and results-driven implementation. Chang’s acquisitions are primarily performance-based, emphasizing outcome-oriented deliverables and robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Chang maintains a consistent working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor delivering high-level administrative and management consulting services. His procurement approach favors long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of providing integrated technical support across multiple sectors. These collaborations are characterized by iterative engagement, adaptive management, and a strong emphasis on local capacity transfer, reflecting USAID’s commitment to sustainable, locally led development. Chang’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside designation. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and programmatic fit, rather than socioeconomic categorizations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, the agency’s broader mission encourages inclusive engagement through competitive, merit-based processes. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—reflecting deep expertise in securing strategic advisory support for complex development programs. Chang procures services including institutional strengthening, policy design, systems optimization, and results-based management consulting, often requiring cross-sectoral expertise in public sector reform, financial systems, and climate-resilient planning. His work ensures that USAID’s technical assistance is delivered through agile, high-performing consulting partnerships.
