Astrion Group, LLC has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, designated the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle structured to support research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology initiatives. The contract was awarded on a full and open competition basis with no set-aside designations, allowing multiple contractors to compete for task and delivery orders. Astrion Group's inclusion as a prime contractor leverages its 30-year track record of providing engineering research, scientific and technical consulting services to federal defense agencies, including extensive experience with the MDA on systems integration and technical consulting projects.

The SHIELD IDIQ will enable the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue task and delivery orders for advanced, multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work scope encompasses multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and will support both classified and unclassified programs utilizing emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. The associated task order evidence reflects work performance in Huntsville, Alabama, home to MDA's primary operations, with firm fixed-price delivery orders structured to support the government's stated objective of establishing a flexible, enterprise-wide contracting mechanism for sustained national defense capabilities and modernization requirements.
