Fusion Technology LLC has been awarded a $151 billion multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. The contract, awarded December 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, represents a 10-year comprehensive contracting vehicle for advanced multi-domain defense systems and capabilities. The SHIELD IDIQ is structured to support research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology initiatives aimed at detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work encompasses protection against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as advanced aerial attacks, with individual task and delivery orders utilizing various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and security classification levels.

The award was made under full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing Fusion Technology LLC, a small business HUBZone-certified firm headquartered in Bridgeport, West Virginia, to compete alongside all qualified contractors for multiple awards under the IDIQ structure. Individual task and delivery orders under SHIELD will leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, with resultant orders potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances for both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains. The contract vehicle is designed to enable the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single flexible contracting mechanism, positioning SHIELD as a comprehensive long-term investment in the nation's layered homeland defense requirements.
