A Square Group LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business certified IT services company, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, 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. This full and open competition contract vehicle, which utilized no set-asides, was established to support the nation's multi-layered defense infrastructure through a 10-year ordering period consisting of a base period and optional extension periods. The contracting mechanism is designed to enable the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue task and delivery orders for 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.

The scope of work encompasses disruptive technologies development, digital engineering initiatives, and implementation of advanced technologies including artificial intelligence and machine learning across both classified and unclassified programs at multiple security classification levels. Individual task and delivery orders issued under this vehicle will utilize various contract types and may be issued across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with work potentially requiring contractor facilities to maintain appropriate security clearances. The contract represents a strategic, long-term investment designed to provide flexible contracting capacity for the nation's multi-layered homeland and deployed force defense requirements against evolving threats.
