Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE640

R-Dex Systems, Inc. has been awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery contract valued at $151 billion by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), with a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, known as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, represents a full and open competition vehicle with no small business set-aside designations. The contract was awarded on December 29, 2025, following a pre-solicitation notice issued on May 21, 2025, with the final Request for Proposal anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The government intends to award task and delivery orders to all qualifying offerors determined to be responsible sources with technically acceptable proposals demonstrating fair and reasonable pricing. An initial delivery order valued at $500 has been issued under the SHIELD contract, with performance of work to be completed in Huntsville, Alabama.

The SHIELD Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract procures 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 research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile flight. The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, leveraging 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 NAICS codes, with resultant orders potentially issued at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. This represents a comprehensive contracting solution designed to enable MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders supporting the nation's multi-layered defense requirements.
