Brown, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling and ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The contract carries SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, expiring March 24, 2029.
The SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) contract procures integrated, multi-domain defense systems design, research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and cybersecurity modernization across classified and unclassified programs. Work is performed in Huntsville, Alabama and other locations as specified in individual task orders. The solicitation, released as a pre-solicitation notice on May 21, 2025 with a September 15, 2025 due date, operates under full and open competition with no set-aside restrictions and awards to all qualifying offerors submitting technically acceptable proposals at fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii).
The base ordering period runs through the contract's ten-year performance window with one or more optional ordering periods. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types and multiple NAICS codes. One initial delivery order was issued on the same date as the IDV award with a $500 firm-fixed-price ceiling, representing a placeholder initial draw with anticipated scaling as operational requirements mature.
