Mindcubed LLC, a Washington D.C.-based SBA Certified 8(a) Program Participant and minority-owned small business, was 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) on December 29, 2025. The contract carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, representing a ten-year period of performance. As a multiple award vehicle, this IDIQ contract was issued through full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing MDA and other Department of Defense entities to issue task and delivery orders to all qualifying awardees. Under the contract terms, Mindcubed shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to performance requirements as specified in individual task orders.

The SHIELD program procurement addresses national defense objectives through the development and deployment of an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. The contract encompasses a comprehensive scope including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple threat domains—including air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight for ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and may support both classified and unclassified programs at different security classification levels, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will be issued as specific requirements emerge, with pricing and terms to be established on a task-order basis.
