Amy Aguirre

Amy Aguirre serves as a Contracting Officer for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for national missile defense systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—she supports MDA’s mission to develop, test, and field integrated, layered defense architectures capable of intercepting ballistic missiles across all phases of flight. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-technology systems involving sensor modernization, guidance and control instrumentation, and midcourse and terminal-phase interception technologies, requiring deep technical understanding and strict compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Aguirre maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, which serve as primary integrators of advanced missile defense hardware and software systems. She also collaborates regularly with Jacobs Technology Inc., leveraging their engineering and systems integration expertise. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in aerospace and defense systems, ensuring technical fidelity and program continuity across multi-year development and fielding initiatives. Aguirre’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects MDA’s operational imperatives for rapid deployment and technical superiority, where mission-critical capabilities require access to the broadest possible pool of qualified, high-capacity vendors with advanced engineering and manufacturing resources. Her procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—underscoring her specialization in acquiring precision-guided weapon systems, radar and tracking sensors, command and control interfaces, and other mission-critical electronic systems essential to layered missile defense architectures.
