Beverly Clark

Beverly Clark serves as a key procurement professional within the Missile Defense Agency, supporting the development and fielding of integrated missile defense systems critical to national security. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced guided weapon systems, sensor modernization programs, and midcourse/terminal-phase interception technologies, ensuring alignment with MDA’s layered defense architecture goals. Her work spans the full contract lifecycle—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-stakes, technology-driven procurements that support operational readiness against evolving ballistic missile threats. Clark maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with leading defense prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, frequently engaging them for systems integration, radar modernization, and guided missile production. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven technical expertise in missile defense domains, often leveraging full and open competition to ensure technical excellence and programmatic continuity. Jacobs Technology Inc. is also a recurring partner, typically supporting systems engineering, test, and evaluation services. Clark’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical emphasis on technical capability, schedule fidelity, and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with MDA’s focus on rapid deployment of high-performance defense systems. Small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, as the nature of the acquisitions demands specialized, large-scale industrial capabilities. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—encompassing the development of interceptors, kinetic kill vehicles, fire control systems, and associated guidance technologies. She specializes in acquiring complex, multi-domain defense systems requiring precision engineering, advanced materials, and rigorous test validation, underscoring deep expertise in aerospace and missile defense procurement.
