About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded Arcata Associates Inc. a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract valued at $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract, awarded December 29, 2025, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to support national defense objectives through the development, production, and sustainment of advanced air and missile defense capabilities. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing qualifying contractors to compete for multiple awards. Performance is scheduled across a 10-year period, with the initial task order valued at $500 and a place of performance identified in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract encompasses classified and unclassified work across multiple security domains and facility clearance levels.
Under the SHIELD IDIQ framework, the government procures research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, testing and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts to establish a scalable, layered defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The procurement leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. As an Asian-Pacific American minority-owned business, Arcata Associates Inc. brings specialized engineering and technical support capabilities developed through prior subcontract experience with major defense integrators, though the company's role under this prime contract award reflects its positioning to deliver niche technical and engineering services in support of the Missile Defense Agency's integrated air defense systems objectives.
