Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF698

Alltech Ventures LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, was awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency on December 29, 2025, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. The contract carries a ceiling value of $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, and operates under full and open competition with no set-asides. The SHIELD IDIQ represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to support national homeland defense objectives through detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple classification levels and security domains.

Under the contract structure, task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual orders will be issued by the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly procure capabilities supporting multi-layered defense requirements, with contractors responsible for providing all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities incidental to performance. The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs, with resultant orders potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances depending on classification level. This represents a significant long-term investment positioning the SHIELD IDIQ as the primary contracting mechanism for the nation's integrated homeland and force protection defense architecture over the 10-year period of performance.
