(UEI: GFC2Q4CJYRN1) on January 21, 2026, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This defense-focused contract, valued at $151 billion with a ceiling through December 28, 2035, represents a comprehensive 10-year contracting vehicle designed to procure advanced multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile flight.

Under this IDIQ vehicle, the contractor shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment, and facilities required for performance. The scope encompasses research and development, advanced prototyping, disruptive technology development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts supporting national defense objectives and continuous layered protection for the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friendly nations. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, enabling the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders through this flexible contracting mechanism without requiring separate competitive procurements for each requirement.
