This contract vehicle carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035, and represents a full and open competition procurement with no set-aside designations.

X Technologies will provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to support the contract's performance objectives in accordance with the terms of individual task and delivery orders.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract procures an advanced, multi-domain defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work scope encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. The contract structure supports both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, with individual task and delivery orders potentially utilizing various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and requiring appropriate facility clearances based on classification levels. This ten-year vehicle positions the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a flexible contracting mechanism for comprehensive multi-layered defense capabilities.
