About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Spectral Sciences, Inc. with a ceiling of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, effective December 29, 2025. No set-aside was used; the procurement employed full and open competition and was structured to award to all qualifying offerors determined to be responsible sources submitting technically acceptable proposals at fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii).
Place of performance for the initial delivery order is Huntsville, Alabama; the contract supports research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.
The contract vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes, with resultant contracts potentially issuing orders at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances.
An initial firm fixed-price delivery order valued at $500 was issued on December 29, 2025, for the SHIELD initial order. Spectral Sciences is a small business headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, specializing in advanced sensing systems, spectral imaging, and signature-modeling software for defense and scientific agencies.
