Mandex Inc. Headquarters Division, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with no set-aside designation. The contract, titled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), carries a ceiling value of $151 billion and extends through December 28, 2035, representing a 10-year period of performance consisting of a base ordering period and one or more optional ordering periods. This full and open competition vehicle was established to enable MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue task and delivery orders for a comprehensive, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains.

The contract encompasses a broad spectrum of research, development, and production activities, including systems engineering, prototyping, disruptive technologies, weapon design, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple classification levels and security domains. Work will address threats from ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks across all phases of flight, utilizing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders under the IDIQ will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with work potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances and being issued at different classification levels. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to performance in accordance with the terms of each order issued under this vehicle.
