Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DE966

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Armorworks Enterprises Inc., valued at $151 billion with a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and disruptive technology efforts across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains, including threats from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations and permits the government to issue task and delivery orders at various classification levels, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

The initial task order issued to Armorworks on December 29, 2025, reflects a nominal $500 firm-fixed-price delivery order with place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama. As a defense and security company specializing in protection and survivability solutions including lightweight armor systems and containment systems, Armorworks is positioned to contribute protective technology solutions under the SHIELD contract framework. The IDIQ structure enables the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue multiple orders across different contract types and North American Industry Classification System codes, with individual orders potentially addressing both classified and unclassified programs. This vehicle represents a significant long-term strategic investment consolidating the government's multi-layered defense acquisition approach under a single flexible contracting mechanism.
