Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF272

The Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded to Intellitech LLC on December 29, 2025, represents a comprehensive procurement vehicle established by the Missile Defense Agency to develop and deliver advanced multi-domain defense systems. With a ceiling value of $151 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035, this full and open competition contract will support critical national defense objectives by procuring systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats. The contract encompasses a broad range of work areas including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity upgrades, and modernization efforts. Individual task and delivery orders will be issued across multiple NAICS codes utilizing various contract types, with work potentially classified at multiple security levels and leveraging emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

The contract structure reflects the Department of Defense's intent to establish a flexible, enterprise-wide contracting mechanism enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Defense entities to rapidly issue orders for integrated layered defense capabilities. As a multiple award IDIQ with no set-aside designations, the vehicle was awarded to all qualifying offerors meeting responsibility, technical acceptability, and fair and reasonable pricing standards established under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). The procurement supports both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, with offerors required to maintain appropriate facility clearances. This long-term investment in homeland defense consolidates requirements previously managed through separate contracting vehicles, positioning the SHIELD IDIQ as a unified solution for addressing evolving multi-layered defense requirements across the continental United States, deployed forces, and allied nations.
