Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF050

The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract valued at $151 billion to Bowery Solutions LIMITED on December 29, 2025, for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This full and open competition contract, with no set-aside designation, extends through December 28, 2035, and is structured to procure an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple phases of flight for ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks. Performance will occur at the contractor's location in Huntsville, Alabama 35898, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract is designed as a comprehensive, enterprise-wide contracting vehicle enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue task and delivery orders without conducting new competitive solicitations. Individual orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and may be issued at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances, supporting both classified and unclassified programs. The initial delivery order, awarded simultaneously on December 29, 2025, was issued at a minimal threshold value of $500 and carries a firm fixed-price pricing structure. This contracting approach represents a significant long-term investment in layered homeland defense capabilities, allowing the government flexibility to address evolving multi-domain threat requirements through a single vehicle over the 10-year performance period.
