About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Castheon Inc. on January 21, 2026, establishing the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ with a $151 billion ceiling. The vehicle carries no set-aside and uses full and open competition. The government intends to award to all qualifying offerors that are responsible sources, submit technically acceptable proposals, and offer fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). The contract runs through December 28, 2035, with a base ordering period and one or more optional ordering periods across a ten-year performance period.
The originating pre-solicitation, posted May 21, 2025, seeks an advanced, multi-domain defense system to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Coverage spans air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles and other advanced aerial attacks. Work areas include research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. The vehicle supports classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, and individual orders may require facility clearances at different classification levels. The IDIQ is designed to let MDA and other DoD entities issue orders under one contract mechanism.
The sole order in the source is the SHIELD initial order, a firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded January 21, 2026, with a $500 ceiling and performance in Huntsville, Alabama.
