(doing business as Leap) a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. This indefinite delivery vehicle operates under full and open competition with no set-aside restrictions and supports the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a comprehensive multi-domain defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends.

Under the contract terms, Pivotal Space Inc. shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to perform the stated requirements. The procurement structure allows the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue multiple delivery orders across various contract types and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes throughout the 10-year performance period. This contracting vehicle leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to establish a flexible, enterprise-wide solution supporting the nation's integrated multi-layered defense requirements.
