About this IDV
Merrick & Company was awarded a $151 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract represents a comprehensive, 10-year contracting vehicle designed to procure advanced multi-domain defense systems and supporting services for detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners. The contract will support work areas including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains, including protection against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The procurement utilized full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing multiple qualified contractors to compete for awards under the IDIQ structure. Work performance will be conducted at various locations, with initial task order placement at Huntsville, Alabama, and individual delivery orders may be issued at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances.
The SHIELD IDIQ contract leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide flexible procurement capabilities across multiple security domains and National Association of Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Under the contract's fair and open competition model consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.304(c)(1)(ii), individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types ranging from firm fixed-price arrangements to cost-plus structures. The initial delivery order issued to Merrick & Company on December 29, 2025, was valued at five hundred dollars as a firm fixed-price award for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense initial order, establishing the contract vehicle for subsequent, larger-value task orders. This contract vehicle positions the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly procure integrated defense capabilities through a single flexible contracting mechanism supporting both classified and unclassified programs.
