The contract carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035.

The contract is specifically structured to address air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats throughout all phases of flight for ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks affecting the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partner nations. Given Katalyst Space Technologies' demonstrated expertise in space domain awareness and counter-space defense technologies through prior work on initiatives such as the Lightweight Modular Perception Enhancement (LIMPET) system and the Interoperable Cislunar Observation Network (ICON), the company is positioned to contribute advanced perception and awareness capabilities within the broader SHIELD enterprise. Task orders under this IDIQ will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and may include requirements at different security classification levels, with the contract supporting both classified and unclassified programs leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.
