Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF625

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC and other qualifying contractors for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This $151 billion contract, awarded December 29, 2025, with a completion date of December 28, 2035, represents a comprehensive 10-year procurement vehicle designed to support advanced multi-domain defense capabilities. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity modernization, and related services across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains. The SHIELD IDIQ vehicle utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations, allowing all responsible, qualified contractors to compete for multiple task orders. Work will be performed across various locations, including Huntsville, Alabama, and support both classified and unclassified programs leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners across all phases of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile flight.

Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC received an initial delivery order under the SHIELD IDIQ on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of five hundred dollars for the initial order phase, establishing the contractor's participation in this strategic defense initiative. As the prime contractor on this multiple-award vehicle, Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC will provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required to support the government's defense objectives. The contractor's existing expertise in data analytics, intelligence analysis, and investigative services positions it to contribute to the technical and analytical requirements of the SHIELD program, which envisions a flexible contracting mechanism enabling the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue subsequent task orders addressing emerging multi-layered defense requirements over the decade-long performance period.
