About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Applied Network Solutions, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, on January 21, 2026, with a ceiling of $151 billion and a completion date of December 28, 2035. This is a multiple-award vehicle with no set-aside designation, structured under FAR 15.304(c)(1)(ii) to permit orders to all qualifying, responsible offerors with technically acceptable proposals and fair and reasonable pricing.
The SHIELD (Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense) IDIQ procures advanced, multi-domain defense capabilities spanning research and development, prototyping, disruptive-technology development, systems engineering, weapons design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. Work encompasses network engineering, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open-systems architectures in support of air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid-threat defense across all missile-flight phases. The contract supports both classified and unclassified programs and spans multiple NAICS codes and facility clearance levels.
Place of performance includes Huntsville, Alabama, with work executed across subordinate defense agency locations and operational sites as directed by task and delivery orders.
The initial delivery order, issued January 21, 2026, carries a firm fixed price of $500 and is addressed to Huntsville, Alabama. Applied Network Solutions, prior to SHIELD, operated as a subcontractor and held modest prime-contract activity across 24 federal agencies, with combined potential value of $3.6 million across nine awards received between 2016 and 2025. SHIELD represents the company's entry into a multi-billion-dollar prime-contract vehicle and signals material expansion in scale and prime-led responsibility.
