Roxanne Banks

Roxanne Banks serves as a key procurement professional within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), supporting the development and integration of advanced ballistic missile defense systems under the Department of Defense. She plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for sensor modernization, command and control architectures, and space-based tracking capabilities essential to the nation’s layered defense posture. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance management—ensuring alignment with MDA’s strategic priorities in homeland and theater missile defense. She typically handles high-acquisition-risk, technology-driven procurements involving cutting-edge radar systems, kinetic interceptors, and battle management software. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, her procurement activity is consistent with engagements with prime defense integrators and systems engineering firms experienced in missile defense architectures, including those with expertise in space-based sensors, hypersonic threat tracking, and secure communications networks. She fosters collaborative partnerships with vendors possessing deep technical proficiency in defense aerospace systems and proven experience in rapid prototyping and fielding under tight operational timelines. Though no set-aside preferences are recorded, her work aligns with MDA’s broader commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a likely emphasis on small business participation through 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, particularly for niche engineering services, cybersecurity support, and software development tasks. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to broaden the industrial base and encourage innovation from emerging defense technology providers. Her industry focus centers on NAICS categories related to aerospace defense systems, including missile and space vehicle manufacturing, defense electronics, and advanced information processing. She procures specialized hardware and software for missile tracking, discrimination algorithms, and real-time battle management systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with DoD acquisition regulations and the unique requirements of missile defense mission sets.
