Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DG242

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Lanteris Space LLC (a division of Maxar Space LLC) with a ceiling value of $151 billion over a 10-year period of performance extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, known as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle designed to enable rapid acquisition and deployment of advanced defense capabilities. The contract supports full and open competition with no set-asides, allowing the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to issue task and delivery orders for research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, and modernization efforts across multiple security classification levels and facility requirements.

The SHIELD IDIQ procurement addresses the nation's multi-layered homeland defense requirements by procuring an advanced defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats across multiple domains—including air, missile, space, and cyber threats—and across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work scope encompasses disruptive technologies, cybersecurity capabilities, and modernization initiatives leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types and span multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, enabling the government to flexibly structure procurements based on specific program requirements. This contracting vehicle is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs, positioning it as a foundational mechanism for the Department of Defense's long-term investment in integrated homeland and force protection capabilities.
