J.c. Chang & Associates, Inc.

J.C. Chang & Associates, Inc. (doing business as J C Chang & Associates) is a Torrance, California–headquartered small business Subchapter S corporation providing architectural, engineering, design, and technical services to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), with 607 total prime federal awards spanning four decades and concentrated almost entirely on correctional-facility infrastructure work.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint across its portfolio. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 62% of awards and include the Department of the Navy (148 awards), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Western Regional Office (77 awards, $21.5 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army (66 awards), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office (45 awards, $40.8 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Air Force (43 awards). The customer concentration by dollar value skews heavily toward BOP: the Central Office and Western Regional Office together represent 92% of combined potential value across the portfolio, at $62.3 million of the vendor's $82.6 million total. This concentration reflects J.C. Chang's specialization in Bureau of Prisons facility infrastructure — the vendor's primary capability footprint spans fire detection and suppression system upgrades, electrical infrastructure replacement, building automation modernization, environmental site assessments, facility condition evaluations, construction administration, and comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement preparation for site selection. Recent representative work includes a $923,880 Technological Deployment Group update for FCI/FPC Letcher County, Kentucky (awarded November 2025), a $1.562 million Environmental Impact Statement for FCI Letcher, Kentucky site selection (March 2022), a $748,244 generator upgrade at Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc (March 2025), a $620,038 National Historic Preservation Act compliance support project across multiple BOP locations (June 2026), and a $501,728 electrical infrastructure replacement at FCC Oakdale (September 2025).

J.C. Chang holds two primary IDIQ vehicles with the Bureau of Prisons: a $15.5 million single-award IDIQ with BOP Central Office (awarded March 23, 2022, expiring March 22, 2027) designated as a total small business set-aside, and a $3 million multiple-award IDIQ with BOP Western Regional Office (awarded April 2, 2026, expiring April 1, 2031) also designated as a total small business set-aside. The Central Office IDIQ has generated 33 task orders worth $10.1 million; the Western Regional Office vehicle has begun accumulating orders since its recent award. Earlier contracts included a $4 million multiple-award IDIQ with BOP Western Regional Office (awarded March 22, 2021) that generated 29 task orders. Task-order activity also appears under Department of the Air Force Space Command contracts (37 task orders, $3.3 million combined potential value) and a Navy IDIQ (43 task orders, $6.3 million combined potential value), though the scope of these non-BOP awards is not detailed in the source. Most BOP delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price awards and range from under $5,000 to approximately $1.87 million per task order.

Award activity has grown from 7 awards in 2022 to 17 in 2025 and 13 in 2026 (through July). Sixteen awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $4.9 million, creating a recompete cliff that will pressure the vendor's pipeline if the Central Office IDIQ renews favorably or if the Western Regional Office places sustained order volume against its newly awarded vehicle. The vendor's primary NAICS categories are Architectural Services (219 awards) and Engineering Services (62 awards); the top PSC code is Architect and Engineering–General (338 awards). The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since April 2002, indicating over two decades of continuous BOP contracting. Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022–FY2024 shows minimal SCI-reportable invoicing (the vendor generated zero reported FTE hours in FY2022 and FY2023 and only 0.2 FTEs in FY2024 across three prime SCI records), suggesting that most work performed falls below the SCI $150,000 reporting threshold or is structured as delivery orders not subject to SCI capture, or that the vendor's federal service revenue is dominated by smaller task orders that aggregate above the threshold but do not trigger individual SCI registration.
