Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE347

Vickers & Nolan Enterprises LLC, a minority-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, was awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations and is structured to support the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a comprehensive multi-domain defense initiative. The initial task order, awarded on the same date with a firm fixed price of five hundred dollars, establishes the ordering mechanism for this enterprise-wide contracting vehicle. Work will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama, and potentially across geographically distributed facilities, reflecting the national scope of the program.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract procures 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. The contract encompasses a broad spectrum of deliverables including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The procurement is designed to support MDA and other Department of Defense entities in rapidly issuing orders across multiple contract types, security classification levels, and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. The contract vehicle leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide continuous, layered protection supporting national defense objectives and allied security interests. This represents a significant long-term investment in homeland defense capabilities structured to accommodate both classified and unclassified programs requiring appropriate security facility clearances.
