Bradley Chassee

Bradley Chassee serves as a Contracting Officer for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced missile defense systems critical to national security. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex defense acquisitions, he oversees the solicitation, negotiation, and award of contracts for guided missile systems, sensor modernization, and integrated battle management architectures. His work directly supports MDA’s mission to develop layered, multi-phase interception capabilities, ensuring timely delivery of cutting-edge technologies that defend U.S. and allied forces against evolving ballistic and hypersonic threats. Chassee specializes in high-stakes, technology-driven procurements requiring rigorous systems engineering oversight and compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. Chassee maintains longstanding procurement relationships with prime defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, who provide core missile interceptors, command and control systems, and sensor platforms. He also collaborates regularly with Jacobs Technology Inc. for systems integration, test support, and engineering services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk-sharing mechanisms, and long-term strategic partnerships with industry leaders capable of sustaining rapid innovation cycles under stringent security and technical constraints. Chassee’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his current portfolio, he ensures compliance with all applicable small business subcontracting goals and promotes supplier diversity where technically feasible within mission-critical programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing) and 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), reflecting deep expertise in missile system development, flight dynamics modeling, and advanced propulsion technologies. He regularly procures classified and unclassified R&D services, prototype hardware, and test infrastructure supporting midcourse and terminal-phase interception systems.
