About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Rapid Strategy Inc. (UEI: H35PGX34XNH1) on January 21, 2026, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. This contract vehicle 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 partners. The contract encompasses a broad scope of work including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations and was awarded without a specific set-aside category. The initial task order, valued at five hundred dollars and issued on January 21, 2026, establishes the SHIELD Initial Order as a Delivery Order under Firm Fixed Price terms, with performance to be conducted in Huntsville, Alabama.
The underlying solicitation, released as a pre-solicitation notice in May 2025 with a final Request for Proposal anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, was structured to allow the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single flexible contracting mechanism. The contract is designed to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, incorporating advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes, with orders potentially issued at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. All potential offerors were required to be registered in the System for Award Management to be eligible for contract consideration. This IDIQ structure positions SHIELD as a long-term strategic investment in the nation's multi-layered defense capabilities, enabling the government to leverage multiple contractors' capabilities to address evolving threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks.
