Proteus Space, a Los Angeles-based small business manufacturer specializing in advanced satellite technology and digital engineering solutions, was selected as one of multiple award recipients, drawing on its demonstrated expertise in rapid automated satellite design, digital engineering platforms, and artificial intelligence-assisted design methodologies developed through prior contracts with the Air Force Research Laboratory.
The initial delivery order issued under the SHIELD contract awards a $500 firm fixed-price task order for the SHIELD Initial Order with performance in Huntsville, Alabama through December 28, 2035. The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide scalable homeland defense capabilities. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes, with the solicitation emphasizing fair and reasonable pricing for all qualifying responsible sources submitting technically acceptable proposals. This represents a significant long-term investment positioning SHIELD as a comprehensive contracting mechanism for the nation's multi-layered defense requirements across the Department of Defense enterprise.
