Kevin Geary

Kevin Geary serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where he plays a critical role in executing complex acquisition strategies for integrated missile defense systems. He manages the full lifecycle of engineering and technical service contracts, ensuring alignment with MDA’s mission to develop, test, and field layered ballistic missile defense architectures. His portfolio primarily encompasses advanced systems integration, sensor modernization, and guided weapon development, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations. Geary’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in midcourse and terminal-phase interception capabilities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to U.S. and allied forces. Geary maintains consistent, high-volume contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, as well as Jacobs Technology Inc. These partnerships are centered on the design, development, and integration of advanced missile defense technologies, including radar systems, kill vehicles, and battle management command and control platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based acquisition methods and rigorous technical evaluation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining strict compliance with defense acquisition standards. Geary’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects the highly specialized, technically demanding nature of MDA’s mission, where capabilities require advanced engineering expertise typically found only among large, established defense contractors with proven systems integration experience. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal transparency and competition requirements. His primary focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, and defense R&D support. He routinely procures advanced technical services for missile defense architecture development, including modeling and simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and guidance system integration, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of ballistic missile defense and aerospace systems engineering.
