About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Auburn University with a $151 billion ceiling and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, effective December 29, 2025. No set-aside applies; all qualifying vendors compete under full and open competition.
Work encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) system. The contract supports continuous, layered protection against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks. Advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures are anticipated across both classified and unclassified programs.
Place of performance is Huntsville, Alabama. The base ordering period extends through the 10-year ultimate completion date, with one or more optional ordering periods anticipated. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple NAICS codes, with security classifications requiring appropriate facility clearances.
An initial delivery order issued December 29, 2025, carrying a ceiling of five hundred dollars and firm fixed price terms, represents the first draw against the IDIQ. The government intends to award to all qualifying offerors demonstrating technical acceptability, responsibility, and fair and reasonable pricing under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii). All potential offerors must be registered in SAM.gov.
