MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY SUPPORT

The Missile Defense Agency Support (MDA SUPPORT) program is a Department of Defense acquisition program focused on providing comprehensive support services and equipment for the Missile Defense Agency's operations, research, and development activities. The program encompasses a wide range of requirements including engineering services, technical support, equipment procurement, facility maintenance, and cybersecurity capabilities. The scope includes both large-scale mission-critical systems and routine operational support items necessary for the agency's daily functions across multiple facilities.

Contract awards under this program range from small-scale procurement orders of a few hundred dollars for office supplies and maintenance items to major system acquisitions and engineering services valued at tens of millions of dollars. Notable prime contractors include Lockheed Martin Corporation for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) transporters ($13.2M), Jacobs Technology Inc. for cybersecurity capabilities ($28.3M), and Radiance Technologies Inc. for strategic planning and business operations support ($78M). The program extensively utilizes the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule and includes numerous Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I and II contracts typically valued between $149,000 and $1.5M. Primary places of performance include Huntsville, Alabama; Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; and the National Capital Region. While many contracts have no set-aside designation, the program actively engages small businesses through SBIR awards and maintains significant relationships with university-affiliated research centers such as Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
