Primary sources for this brief

  • Open “FY2026 Budget Justification: Procurement - MDA (DoD)” on its official government website and review the complete document.
  • Open “Basic requirements | U.S. Small Business Administration” on its official government website and review the complete document.

Key takeaways

  • Treat the linked primary source—not an older article summary—as the controlling reference.
  • Compare the source with the current solicitation, contract, amendments, and agency instructions that apply to your work.
  • Record the source URL and access date used for an internal compliance or capture decision.
  • Ask the contracting officer or qualified counsel when the controlling language is unclear.

A conservative verification workflow

Editorial note

This page was rebuilt as a primary-source brief. Unsupported deadlines, penalties, award claims, quotations, company outcomes, and reviewer identities from the legacy version were not carried forward.

Legacy topic record

The prior version used the topic label “What must manufacturers and suppliers do to qualify as vendors for Lockheed Martin’s new THAAD interceptor….” That wording is retained only to identify the corrected page; it is not presented as a verified factual premise.
