Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF137

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to DRS Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Leonardo SPA, with a ceiling value of $151.0 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035. This contract supports the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, which aims to develop and deliver 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. Work areas encompass research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple phases of flight for ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations, allowing multiple qualified contractors to compete for individual delivery orders, and is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains.

Under this contract vehicle, DRS Systems, Inc. will provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to perform task order requirements in accordance with contract terms issued by the Missile Defense Agency. Performance will leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to support the government's comprehensive multi-layered defense requirements. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with some work potentially requiring facility clearances and security classification levels. The contract's ten-year performance period and substantial $151.0 billion ceiling reflect the government's long-term commitment to modernizing homeland defense capabilities and establishing a flexible, enterprise-wide contracting mechanism enabling rapid order issuance across multiple Department of Defense entities and related federal agencies.
