Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE804

The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Parraid LLC on December 29, 2025, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This contract, valued at $151 billion with a period of performance through December 28, 2035, represents a full and open competition vehicle with no set-aside designations. Parraid LLC, a small business manufacturer headquartered in Hollywood, Maryland, specializing in telemetry data systems and tactical communications solutions, will compete alongside other qualified contractors to deliver advanced multi-domain defense capabilities. The SHIELD IDIQ is structured to support national defense objectives through research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts targeting air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight.

The contract encompasses a comprehensive scope spanning ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense systems, with work areas including disruptive technologies development, digital engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning integration, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders issued under this IDIQ will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and will support both classified and unclassified programs requiring appropriate facility clearances and security domains. As a prime contractor on this vehicle, Parraid LLC will be positioned to compete for task orders leveraging its established expertise in advanced telemetry, communications infrastructure, data processing systems, and engineering support services previously demonstrated across multiple federal agencies including Naval Air Warfare Center, NASA, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Army Research Laboratory. This represents a strategic long-term contracting mechanism enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders for critical homeland defense capabilities over the ten-year performance period.
