Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE514

Mks2 LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Austin, Texas, has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). The contract, awarded on December 29, 2025, carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, and operates under full and open competition with no set-aside designations despite the contractor's veteran-owned status. Under this contract vehicle, Mks2 LLC will provide comprehensive materials, labor, equipment, and facilities necessary to support the MDA's multi-domain defense objectives across a 10-year period of performance consisting of a base ordering period and optional ordering periods.

The SHIELD IDIQ procurement is structured to enable rapid issuance of individual task and delivery orders supporting research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and related efforts. The contract encompasses work across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and will leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. The resulting contract vehicle is designed to support both classified and unclassified programs at multiple security classification levels, requiring appropriate facility clearances, and represents a significant long-term investment in establishing a flexible, enterprise-wide contracting mechanism for the nation's layered air and missile defense requirements.
