The Missile Defense Agency has awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Allied Federal Solutions LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This defense contract, valued at $151 billion with a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035, was awarded on December 29, 2025, with no set-aside designations applied. The contract utilizes full and open competition, allowing the government to issue task orders for an advanced multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains. Work areas encompass research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization efforts, and capabilities against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles throughout all phases of flight.

The initial task order issued under this IDIQ, valued at $500 and completed through December 28, 2035, establishes the foundational ordering mechanism for the SHIELD program with performance based in Huntsville, Alabama. Individual task and delivery orders under this contract vehicle will utilize various contract types and firm fixed price arrangements across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes, with work potentially classified at multiple security levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. The contract structure supports both classified and unclassified programs, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. This comprehensive contracting vehicle represents a significant long-term investment in integrated homeland defense capabilities, enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly procure multi-layered defense solutions through a single flexible contracting mechanism.
