Mily H. Le

Mily A. Le serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced missile defense systems. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—she supports the agency’s mission to develop, test, and field integrated, layered defense architectures. Her portfolio primarily encompasses research and development contracts for next-generation sensor systems, guidance technologies, and midcourse and terminal-phase interception capabilities, ensuring alignment with national security objectives and technical requirements defined by MDA’s engineering and operational teams. Le 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 typically structured as cost-reimbursement and firm-fixed-price contracts for high-technology R&D, systems integration, and engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, reflecting the mission-critical nature of the systems being acquired. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the specialized, classified, and technologically advanced nature of MDA’s requirements, where only a limited number of qualified entities possess the necessary clearance, infrastructure, and expertise to perform. Le’s work is concentrated in NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where she procures cutting-edge capabilities in radar discrimination, kinetic kill vehicle design, battle management command and control, and hypersonic defense technologies. Her domain expertise lies in the integration of space-, air-, and ground-based sensors with guided interceptors, supporting the evolution of a resilient, multi-layered national missile defense architecture.
