About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Hepburn And Sons LLC on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling of $151 billion and performance through December 28, 2035. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents full and open competition.
Place of performance includes Huntsville, Alabama and subordinate work locations supporting the Missile Defense Agency's operations. The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts for an advanced multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight. Work spans ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense alongside protection of the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends.
The contract was awarded under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) to all qualifying offerors meeting responsibility standards, technical acceptability, and fair and reasonable pricing criteria. The base ordering period runs through December 28, 2035, with potential optional ordering periods beyond.
One initial delivery order has been issued: a firm fixed price order to Hepburn And Sons with a $500 ceiling awarded December 29, 2025, for performance at Huntsville, Alabama. The disparity between the $151 billion contract ceiling and the $500 initial order indicates the vehicle is nascent. Task orders will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and may require facility clearances for both classified and unclassified programs, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.
