Rebecca Froelich

Becky Froelich serves as a key procurement professional within the Missile Defense Agency, supporting the development and fielding of integrated ballistic missile defense systems. She manages complex acquisitions aligned with MDA’s mission to advance layered defense architectures, focusing on engineering services and research and development for sensor modernization, guidance systems, and midcourse/terminal-phase interception technologies. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant, technically rigorous contracting processes. Froelich typically handles high-stakes, mission-essential contracts requiring deep technical oversight and interagency coordination. She maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, partnering with these industry leaders to execute large-scale systems integration and advanced technology development efforts. Froelich also collaborates with Jacobs Technology Inc. to support engineering analysis, test infrastructure, and systems engineering services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in missile defense, while maintaining flexibility to integrate emerging technologies through agile acquisition pathways. Froelich demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 10% designated for women-owned small businesses. Her procurement strategy actively promotes socioeconomic diversity by prioritizing small business eligibility and fostering vendor development within the national security industrial base, ensuring broad innovation and resilience in the supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she sources systems engineering, technical analysis, and integration support, and NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), where she funds advanced prototyping and technology maturation. Her expertise centers on acquiring precision-guided systems, radar and tracking sensor upgrades, and battle management command and control software—domains requiring stringent performance validation and defense-specific compliance standards.
