About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance through December 28, 2035. Awarded on December 29, 2025, without set-asides, the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract establishes a flexible procurement mechanism to support the nation's multi-layered defense capabilities. Under this IDIQ vehicle, the government intends to procure an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. GA-ASI's primary responsibility is to provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to performance of delivery orders issued under this contract, leveraging the company's extensive expertise as a leading manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles, radars, electro-optic solutions, and associated aerospace and defense technologies.
The SHIELD contract encompasses a broad scope of work areas including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The contract vehicle supports both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains and will utilize various contract types and pricing mechanisms across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Individual delivery orders will be issued to address specific capability requirements, with GA-ASI's initial delivery order—valued at $500—pertaining to the SHIELD program with performance at Huntsville, Alabama. The procurement was conducted through full and open competition with all qualifying, responsible sources invited to submit technically acceptable proposals demonstrating fair and reasonable pricing, positioning this IDIQ as a comprehensive contracting solution for MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly address evolving homeland and force protection requirements.
