Bradley Price

Bradley Price serves as a Contracting Officer for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where he plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions to support the development and fielding of integrated ballistic missile defense systems. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced research, engineering, and systems integration efforts aligned with MDA’s mission to enhance layered defense capabilities across midcourse and terminal-phase interception domains. His portfolio primarily encompasses high-technology procurement actions involving sensor modernization, guided weapon system development, and operational testing infrastructure, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Price maintains strong, sustained relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, partnering with industry leaders to deliver mission-critical defense technologies. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk-managed contract structures, and rigorous technical evaluation of proposals. He also collaborates regularly with Jacobs Technology Inc., reflecting a consistent reliance on firms capable of delivering systems engineering, test, and evaluation services under demanding defense timelines and security protocols. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Price demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 27% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Women-Owned Small Businesses and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy to foster innovation while maintaining access to specialized technical capabilities. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), with significant activity in engineering services and management consulting supporting systems integration. He frequently procures advanced technical services related to missile defense architecture design, simulation modeling, and operational training, underscoring his expertise in high-stakes, science-driven defense contracting.
