About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency has awarded Argo Space Corp, a small business specializing in spacecraft manufacturing and advanced propulsion technologies, 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 supporting national defense objectives through research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization efforts. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no small business set-aside, enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders for advanced defense capabilities across multiple security classification levels and facility clearances. Initial work includes a delivery order valued at $500 with a place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama, focused on the SHIELD program's foundational requirements.
The SHIELD contract procures an advanced, multi-domain defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The solicitation framework accommodates various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will be issued on a Firm Fixed Price basis under this flexible contracting mechanism, enabling the government to address evolving multi-layered defense requirements over the 10-year period of performance through a single enterprise-wide vehicle rather than multiple separate procurements.
