This indefinite delivery vehicle utilizes full and open competition with no set-asides, enabling the government to issue task orders to all qualifying, responsible contractors who submit technically acceptable proposals with fair and reasonable pricing. Viasat, a global communications company specializing in advanced satellite communications, networking, and cybersecurity technologies, will provide comprehensive materials, labor, equipment, and facilities necessary to support the contract requirements. The company's extensive background delivering critical defense communications infrastructure—including satellite terminals, secure communication modems, encrypted systems, and command and control capabilities—positions it to contribute to this multi-domain defense initiative.
The SHIELD contract procures an advanced, integrated defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to U.S. homeland, deployed forces, and allied nations across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The work scope encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The contract is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. The initial task order issued to Viasat on December 29, 2025, valued at $500 firm fixed price, designated the Huntsville, Alabama location as the place of performance and represents the first order under this strategic 10-year contracting vehicle designed to provide flexible, rapid-response procurement authority for the nation's comprehensive, layered defense requirements.
