About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Serco Inc. on December 29, 2025, establishing the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) vehicle with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a 10-year period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This unrestricted competition vehicle, which received no set-aside designation, enables the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to issue delivery orders for advanced multi-domain defense systems and related services. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts targeting detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all missile flight phases, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, and allies. Serco, a large defense contractor headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, with extensive experience in command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems and major defense integration efforts, is positioned to execute work under this vehicle, with the initial delivery order valued at five hundred dollars and performance conducted in Huntsville, Alabama.
Under the SHIELD IDIQ contract structure, individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and may operate at different security classification levels, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. This comprehensive contracting mechanism represents a significant long-term strategic investment in integrated homeland and force protection capabilities, consolidating multiple defense modernization initiatives under a single flexible acquisition vehicle. The vehicle's multi-domain focus reflects the MDA's mission evolution to address contemporary threat environments beyond traditional ballistic missile defense, enabling rapid order issuance to support both classified and unclassified programs through pre-negotiated terms and competitive delivery order competitions among qualified contractors registered in the System for Award Management.
