Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE177

Bart & Associates, LLC (doing business as B&A) has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035. This full and open competition contract, awarded without set-aside designations, establishes a flexible contracting vehicle through which the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities can issue task orders for advanced multi-domain defense system development and sustainment. The contract structure supports the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, which aims to procure integrated defense capabilities for detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.

The scope of work encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and related activities across multiple technology domains including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. B&A's initial task order, the SHIELD Initial Order valued at five hundred dollars with a firm fixed-price structure, reflects the commencement of ordering activity with performance to occur in Huntsville, Alabama through December 28, 2035. The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs at various security levels, enabling rapid procurement across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and allowing individual task orders to employ different contract types, facility clearance requirements, and security domains as mission requirements dictate.
