Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF529

Saronic Technologies, Inc. has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), a defense agency within the Department of Defense. The contract was awarded on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035. This IDIQ contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-asides and represents a comprehensive contracting vehicle designed to enable MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue task and delivery orders for advanced multi-domain defense system development and deployment. As the prime contractor, Saronic Technologies shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to perform work under individual task orders issued against this contract.

The SHIELD program procures research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts for an advanced, multi-layered defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. The contract scope encompasses protection against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile threats across all phases of flight, as well as other advanced aerial attacks directed at the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work under this IDIQ will leverage cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, with individual task orders potentially utilizing various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System codes and requiring appropriate facility clearances for classified and unclassified program execution. Given Saronic Technologies' demonstrated expertise in autonomous systems and maritime vehicle technologies through prior Naval Sea Systems Command contracts, the company's selection as a SHIELD IDIQ awardee positions it to contribute specialized technological capabilities to the government's broader homeland defense modernization objectives.
