Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE704

Objective Area Solutions, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, was awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and performance period extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, titled the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle structured to support national defense objectives through the acquisition of advanced defense systems and associated services. The contract employs full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing multiple qualified contractors to compete for task orders. As an IDIQ contract vehicle, this procurement does not identify specific task orders or price lists at the award stage; instead, it establishes a framework through which the MDA and other Department of Defense entities will issue individual orders for specific requirements over the 10-year performance period.

Under the SHIELD IDIQ, the government procures a broad spectrum of products and services encompassing research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. These efforts support an integrated, multi-layered defense capability designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains throughout all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats. The contract is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs utilizing various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders under this IDIQ may be issued at different classification levels and will require appropriate facility clearances, establishing this vehicle as a flexible, long-term procurement mechanism to support the nation's evolving multi-layered defense requirements.
