About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Mandex Inc. on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling of $151 billion and ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. Mandex is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
The contract, titled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), procures 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 friends. Work encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles and other advanced aerial attacks. The procurement utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside, allowing all qualified contractors to compete for multiple awards. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types and may require appropriate facility clearances for both classified and unclassified work.
Performance occurs at Huntsville, Alabama, with work leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. The period of performance spans a base ordering period and optional ordering periods through December 2035.
Mandex received an initial task order under SHIELD on the same award date—a $500 firm-fixed-price delivery order for performance at Huntsville, Alabama, demonstrating vehicle operationalization.
