The contract vehicle leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide continuous, layered protection against evolving threats. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types and pricing mechanisms across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with Telos Corporation required to provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to performance. This 10-year contracting mechanism positions the SHIELD IDIQ as a comprehensive enterprise-wide solution enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders for critical homeland defense capabilities.
