(RBCI) for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This contract represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to support national defense objectives through research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The SHIELD IDIQ will procure advanced capabilities capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid domains, addressing ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial threats throughout all phases of flight. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside designations and supports both classified and unclassified programs leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

The initial delivery order issued to RBCI, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Ijamsville, Maryland, carries a firm fixed-price ceiling value of $500 and is designated as the SHIELD Initial Order with performance location in Huntsville, Alabama. This initial order was awarded on December 29, 2025, concurrent with the multiple-award contract establishment, establishing RBCI as one of the qualified contractors eligible to execute task orders under the SHIELD vehicle. Individual task and delivery orders under this contract will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and may require appropriate facility clearances for classified work. The contract structure enables the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders addressing the nation's multi-layered defense requirements through a flexible contracting mechanism spanning a 10-year period of performance with base and optional ordering periods.
