Management HQ - MDA

The Management HQ - MDA program under the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is designed to support the operational and administrative functions of the agency. It focuses on providing executive leadership and centralized policy development, ensuring that the agency's activities align with the priorities set by the Secretary of Defense and the President. The program facilitates efficient oversight and management of MDA's acquisition programs, emphasizing systems engineering, lifecycle management, and risk management to optimize cost, schedule, and performance outcomes.

A key objective is to maintain a skilled workforce capable of executing MDA's mission by funding government civilian salaries and benefits. It also supports essential travel for government personnel, enabling engagement in mission-critical activities worldwide. Resources are allocated for contract support services that assist in various administrative functions such as business operations, financial management, internal reviews, public affairs, and media relations.

The program aims to enhance international collaboration by implementing initiatives that expand missile defense coverage for deployed forces and allies. This involves strategic planning and coordination with international partners to bolster collective defense capabilities. Additionally, it emphasizes efficiency-oriented administrative services to streamline operations within the agency.

In terms of acquisition strategy, the program leverages existing contracts while competitively awarding new ones to meet its advisory and assistance service needs from Fiscal Years 2020-2030. This approach includes engaging small businesses to achieve specific goals related to engineering support, technical evaluations, and professional services across MDA's functional organizations. Through these efforts, it seeks to ensure that MDA's operations are conducted with high quality and best value in mind.
