This contract, known as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, was awarded on December 29, 2025, utilizing full and open competition with no set-asides. The procurement encompasses a broad range of defense capabilities including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts.

The initial task order under the SHIELD IDIQ, valued at five hundred dollars with a firm-fixed-price structure, was issued on December 29, 2025, for performance in Huntsville, Alabama. Individual delivery orders under this contract vehicle will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and may require appropriate facility clearances to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains. The flexible contracting structure leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to enable the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders under a single comprehensive contracting mechanism. All potential offerors were required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) for eligibility, with the final request for proposal released in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
