Su JinChang

Su JinChang serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), supporting the acquisition of critical missile defense systems and enabling the agency’s mission to develop layered, integrated defenses against ballistic missile threats. In this role, JinChang manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Defense (DoD) procurement policies. Their portfolio primarily encompasses technical consulting services that support systems engineering, integration, and operational testing of missile defense architectures, with a strong emphasis on midcourse and terminal-phase interception capabilities. JinChang maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and Jacobs Technology Inc., partnering with industry leaders to deliver advanced missile defense technologies. These collaborations involve complex, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight and risk mitigation, often supporting research, development, and fielding of next-generation sensors, interceptors, and battle management systems. The contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in high-stakes, mission-critical systems integration. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, JinChang consistently allocates 20% of contract opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in missile defense innovation. There is no evidence of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, indicating a strategic focus on broad small business engagement rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. The primary NAICS code 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—dominates JinChang’s procurement activity, reflecting a heavy reliance on systems engineering, technical advisory, and program management services. These contracts support the MDA’s need for specialized expertise in architecture design, threat analysis, and integration of complex defense systems across multiple domains.
