Exoanalytic Solutions Inc., an employee-owned small business headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California, was awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program on December 29, 2025. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) issued this contract with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, utilizing full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The contract was established through the pre-solicitation notice and draft solicitation process initiated in May 2025, with the final Request for Proposal released in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. As a multiple award vehicle, the SHIELD IDIQ enables the government to issue task and delivery orders to all qualifying contractors determined to be responsible sources with technically acceptable proposals and fair and reasonable pricing.

The SHIELD contract procures an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. Exoanalytic Solutions will provide materials, labor, equipment, and facilities necessary to support research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and related efforts aligned with national defense objectives. The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains and leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will be issued at varying classification levels and may utilize different contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes, providing the government with a flexible contracting mechanism for both MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly procure integrated homeland defense capabilities against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial threats.
