Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF102

Cloud Lake Technology LLC, an 8(a) certified small business, was awarded a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, titled the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to support national defense objectives through advanced threat detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization capabilities. The contract encompasses a broad scope of work including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and related services addressing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.

The SHIELD IDIQ was awarded under full and open competition with no set-aside designations, though Cloud Lake Technology's 8(a) certification provided competitive advantages during evaluation. Individual task and delivery orders under the contract will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and may operate at different security classification levels, requiring appropriate facility clearances. The procurement is structured to leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, with the contract vehicle supporting both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains. As a multiple award contract, the SHIELD IDIQ enables the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders through a single flexible contracting mechanism, positioning Cloud Lake Technology to deliver diverse IT and systems integration services in support of the nation's multi-layered homeland defense requirements over the 10-year performance period.
