Strategic Alliance, Incorporated (SAI), a SBA Certified Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in San Diego, California, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. This contract vehicle, designated as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, was issued under full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The SHIELD IDIQ is structured to procure an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains. The procurement encompasses a broad range of work areas including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts directed at ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial threats across all phases of flight.

Under this IDC, SAI received an initial delivery order for the SHIELD program valued at $500 (firm fixed price) with a place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama, awarded on December 29, 2025, with completion targeted for December 28, 2035. The contract structure leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to support both classified and unclassified defense programs. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with orders issued at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. This contracting vehicle represents a comprehensive, long-term investment in homeland defense capabilities and positions the SHIELD IDIQ as a flexible mechanism enabling MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders supporting the nation's multi-layered defense requirements over the 10-year performance period.
