Valarie Hall

Valarie Hall serves as a Contract Specialist within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for integrated missile defense systems and supporting technical services. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from requirements definition and source selection to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with MDA’s mission to develop and field layered, multi-phase missile defense capabilities. She primarily handles procurements for advanced engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical consulting services that support sensor modernization, guided weapon development, and operational testing. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in midcourse and terminal-phase interception technologies. Hall maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, partnering with them on high-stakes technical programs requiring rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations. She also engages Jacobs Technology Inc. for specialized engineering and operational support services. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize technical innovation, systems interoperability, and rapid prototyping in support of evolving threat environments. Hall’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial base readiness rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the MDA’s mission-critical need for proven, high-performance solutions from established defense industry leaders. Her primary NAICS focus areas include administrative and general management consulting services (541611), other scientific and technical consulting services (541690), and research and development in physical and engineering sciences (541712), underscoring her expertise in procuring advanced systems engineering, operational analysis, and technical training services. She also regularly supports guided missile manufacturing (336414) and professional development training (611430), demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining the technical workforce and infrastructure critical to national missile defense.
