Galactic Enterprises, LLC, a Las Cruces, New Mexico-based flight and payload integration services provider, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract by the Missile Defense Agency on January 21, 2026, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and period of performance through December 28, 2035. This is a full and open competition contract with no set-aside designations. Under this vehicle, the contractor shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to support the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, which represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains.

The SHIELD contract encompasses a broad range of defense-related activities including research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple NAICS codes. Task and delivery orders issued under this vehicle will address threats from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles through all phases of flight, leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. The contract is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs with work potentially performed across multiple locations and security domains, requiring contractors to maintain appropriate facility clearances. This 10-year indefinite delivery vehicle establishes a flexible contracting mechanism enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders for multi-layered homeland defense capabilities.
