The contract's scope encompasses multi-domain defense capabilities designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains, with protection extending across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work activities will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama and potentially other locations as designated by delivery orders, utilizing various contract types across multiple NAICS codes.
The initial delivery order issued under this IDIQ, with a ceiling value of $500 (Firm Fixed Price), focuses on the SHIELD initial order and is scheduled for completion by December 28, 2035. The contract vehicle is specifically 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. This enterprise-wide contracting mechanism represents a significant long-term investment in homeland defense capabilities, enabling the MDA to rapidly issue task orders for comprehensive defense system solutions without requiring additional competitive procurements for each requirement. LCE's established expertise in providing engineering, technical, and program management services positions the firm to support the government's multi-layered defense modernization objectives throughout the 10-year contract period.
