About this opportunity
This Special Notice announces the Next-Generation Missile Defense Industry Summit hosted by the DOD Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The summit will be held on August 7, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM Central Time at the Von Braun Center in downtown Huntsville, Alabama. The event is separate from the SMD symposium and will be conducted at the UNCLASSIFIED level. The summit has undergone multiple date changes and a cancellation since its original announcement in March 2025, with the event initially scheduled for April 29, 2025, then moved to June 11, 2025, before being canceled and rescheduled to its current August date. The agency has also removed previous restrictions on the maximum number of attendees per company that were in place during earlier iterations of the event.
The summit's primary objective is to engage both non-traditional and traditional industry partners by providing them with knowledge and understanding of MDA's and Space Force's role in the Golden Dome for America initiative, empowering them to take concrete actions that align with government requirements. Registration is mandatory and must be completed online through a specific government link, with the registration deadline set for August 5, 2025, at 11:59 PM CT. All participants must present a U.S. Government-issued identification card at check-in and will receive a summit registration badge required for entry. The MDA particularly encourages non-traditional contractors to attend, as the agency values "outside the box" thinking and believes these contractors are vital to shaping the future of missile defense. The notice explicitly states that this is not an invitation for bid or request for proposal, and companies will not be entitled to payment for any costs incurred in responding to the notice or attending the summit.
