The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Accelera Solutions Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. The contract carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with a performance period extending through December 28, 2035, and an award date of December 29, 2025. This full and open competition procurement involves no set-aside designations and was issued under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii), with the government awarding to all qualifying offerors demonstrating responsible source status, technically acceptable proposals, and fair and reasonable pricing. The initial delivery order, valued at $500, was issued with a place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama, utilizing firm fixed price contracting.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract procures an advanced, multi-domain defense system supporting national defense objectives through detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats. The contract encompasses 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 leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with performance potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances commensurate with classification levels. This comprehensive contracting solution positions the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single flexible mechanism addressing multi-layered homeland defense requirements.
