Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF689

The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to WPI Services, LLC (doing business as Systecon North America) on January 21, 2026, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This $151 billion contract vehicle, with a performance period extending through December 28, 2035, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement designed to support research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization of advanced defense capabilities. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations and was awarded under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) procedures, allowing task orders and delivery orders to be issued at various classification levels across multiple security domains and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. WPI Services, a women-owned small business certified by the Small Business Administration, was selected as one of multiple awardees to support these defense initiatives.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract scope encompasses detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. Work includes protection against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles throughout all phases of flight, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. As a prime contractor on this vehicle, WPI Services will compete for individual task orders alongside other qualified contractors, building upon its established expertise in logistics, operational availability, cost optimization, predictive maintenance, and advanced analytics software—capabilities documented through its OPUS suite and prior federal contract performance with the Navy, Air Force, Army, and Coast Guard. The contract structure enables the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single flexible contracting mechanism to address evolving national defense requirements.
