Cynthia Moore

Cynthia Moore serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisition strategies to support the development and fielding of integrated ballistic missile defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration—focusing on high-priority technical services that enable sensor modernization, midcourse interception capability enhancements, and system integration across layered defense architectures. Her work directly supports MDA’s mission to safeguard the homeland and allied forces through advanced technological innovation, ensuring contracts align with national security imperatives and acquisition regulatory frameworks. Moore maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, as well as Jacobs Technology Inc. These partnerships are centered on mission-critical engineering, systems integration, and technical advisory services essential to missile defense architecture development. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established industry leaders with proven technical capabilities in aerospace defense systems, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types to accommodate evolving operational requirements and rapid prototyping cycles. Cynthia’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with MDA’s mission-critical nature, where technical complexity, security clearances, and system interoperability requirements necessitate access to the broadest possible pool of qualified industry partners with deep defense sector expertise. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—indicating a strong emphasis on systems engineering, technical integration, program management, and operational analysis services. She routinely procures high-level advisory support to guide the design, testing, and deployment of advanced missile defense technologies, demonstrating specialized expertise in the domain of defense systems lifecycle management and mission-critical program execution.
