Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF761

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Grammatech, Inc., a small business software analysis and cybersecurity firm based in Ithaca, New York, on December 29, 2025. This contract, valued at $151 billion with a performance period extending through December 28, 2035, supports the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program—a comprehensive, multi-domain defense system designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partners. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The procurement utilizes full and open competition with no set-asides and was structured under Federal Acquisition Regulation Section 15.304(c)(1)(ii) to award all responsible offerors submitting technically acceptable proposals with fair and reasonable pricing.

The contract vehicle is designed to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Work will be performed across multiple locations, with the initial delivery order—valued at $500 under firm fixed pricing—designated for performance in Huntsville, Alabama and issued on the same date as the IDIQ award. Grammatech's extensive background in software security testing, vulnerability detection, static and dynamic analysis, and advanced computational tools, combined with prior success on Small Business Innovation Research awards and subcontract work with major defense contractors, positions the firm to contribute specialized technical capabilities across the multi-layered defense requirements contemplated under this enterprise-wide contracting mechanism.
