(E3R Inc.), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in San Diego, California, on December 29, 2025. The contract, valued at $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, operates under full and open competition with no set-aside designations, allowing multiple qualified contractors to compete for task orders.

The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts to support national defense objectives and provide continuous, layered protection to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends.

Under this IDIQ vehicle, E3R Inc. received an initial delivery order on December 29, 2025, for the SHIELD Initial Order valued at five hundred dollars with a firm fixed-price structure and a completion date of December 28, 2035. The place of performance for this initial order is Huntsville, Alabama. The contractor shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to contract performance. The contract structure supports both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains and leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with some orders potentially requiring facility clearances appropriate to their classification levels, positioning this IDIQ as a comprehensive contracting solution for MDA's multi-layered defense requirements over the 10-year period of performance.
