The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Technology Service Corp (TSC) and other qualifying contractors on December 29, 2025, for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This contract, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035, will procure an advanced, 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 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, including protection against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles throughout all phases of flight.

The SHIELD IDIQ operates under full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing all responsible and technically qualified contractors to compete for multiple task order awards. Individual orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and will support both classified and unclassified programs at different security levels, requiring appropriate facility clearances for performance. The contract vehicle is structured to leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, positioning it as a comprehensive, flexible contracting mechanism to enable rapid task order deployment across the Department of Defense and supporting federal entities for the nation's layered homeland defense requirements over the decade-long performance period.
