Knexus Research LLC is an SBA 8(a)-certified small business. The vehicle is one of multiple awards under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, which was procured under full and open competition. The originating pre-solicitation stated that awards go to all qualifying offerors determined to be responsible sources, submitting technically acceptable proposals with fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii).
Performance runs from December 29, 2025 through December 28, 2035, and the anticipated maximum value is structured around a base ordering period and one or more optional ordering periods. The IDIQ seeks an advanced, multi-domain defense system to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, protecting the homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work areas include research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. The vehicle supports classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, and orders may require facility clearances at different classification levels. Orders will span multiple NAICS codes and contract types.
