Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE856

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Mtx, LLC (UEI: EW1UPXC9LXE7) with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This full and open competition procurement, utilizing no set-asides, establishes a comprehensive contracting vehicle to procure the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) system—an advanced, multi-domain defense architecture designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners. The contract encompasses a broad scope of work including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technology development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains. The solicitation contemplates work across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and security classification levels, incorporating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to support both classified and unclassified defense programs.

The initial task order awarded to Mtx, LLC under this IDIQ—the SHIELD Initial Order—carries a ceiling value of $500 with a firm fixed-price pricing structure, with performance to occur in Huntsville, Alabama. The task order was awarded on December 29, 2025, concurrent with the parent IDIQ contract award, establishing the foundational mechanisms through which MDA and other Department of Defense entities may rapidly issue subsequent orders for capabilities spanning multiple phases of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense, as well as protection against advanced aerial attacks. This 10-year contracting vehicle represents a long-term strategic investment in integrated homeland defense capabilities and positions the SHIELD IDIQ as a flexible procurement solution enabling the government to respond to evolving multi-layered defense requirements across multiple operational domains.
