About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Kestrel Corp on December 29, 2025, with a $151 billion ceiling under a multiple-award structure with no set-aside. Kestrel Corp is a veteran-owned small business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The SHIELD IDIQ (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) runs through December 28, 2035, and consists of a base ordering period and one or more optional ordering periods.
The vehicle originated from a pre-solicitation notice posted May 21, 2025, with responses due September 15, 2025. The government stated its intent to award to all qualifying responsible offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable, conform to requirements, and offer fair and reasonable pricing. The notice identifies no incumbents. Its stated scope covers layered protection against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work areas include research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. Orders may support classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, and the contract may issue orders at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances.
The only order identified under this IDIQ is the SHIELD initial order, a firm-fixed-price delivery order for $500 awarded December 29, 2025, with performance in Huntsville, Alabama.
