Philip Madeloff

Philip Madeloff serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for integrated missile defense systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for scientific and technical services critical to the development, testing, and fielding of layered missile defense architectures. He specializes in procurements supporting midcourse and terminal-phase interception technologies, sensor modernization, and guided weapon system integration, ensuring alignment with MDA’s strategic mission to safeguard the United States and allied forces from evolving ballistic missile threats. His work directly supports the agency’s objective of maintaining technological superiority through rapid, compliant, and mission-driven contracting. Madeloff maintains consistent and strategic relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, as well as Jacobs Technology Inc., reflecting a reliance on large, experienced defense systems integrators with deep expertise in missile defense engineering and systems architecture. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established industry partners capable of delivering high-risk, high-technical-capability services under stringent performance and security requirements. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive contracts, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and technical innovation. Madeloff’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern underscores the technical complexity and mission-critical nature of the acquisitions he manages, where specialized capabilities and scale often necessitate engagement with large, established defense contractors with proven track records in classified and high-consequence environments. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541690 — Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services — encompassing advanced systems engineering, modeling and simulation, test and evaluation support, and integrated architecture design for missile defense systems. He consistently procures high-end technical consulting services that underpin the development of next-generation interceptors, sensor networks, and command-and-control systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of ballistic missile defense and aerospace systems integration.
