The IDIQ supports research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation across air, missile, space, and cyber defense domains, addressing detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of threats to the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. Work encompasses ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense, as well as hybrid and advanced aerial threats, and covers disruptive technologies, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The contract structure accommodates both classified and unclassified programs, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.
Place of performance includes Huntsville, Alabama and subordinate locations across air, missile, space, and cyber defense domains. The base ordering period and optional ordering periods compose the 10-year span; individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types and multiple NAICS codes with differing security classifications as required.
One initial delivery order has issued under SHIELD: a firm-fixed-price order with a $500 ceiling awarded December 29, 2025, for performance in Huntsville, Alabama. Substantive task-order activity has not yet materialized beyond this initial order.
