The Missile Defense Agency awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Ailaniwind LLC (UEI: QBE3TKF7EQQ3) on December 29, 2025, under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. This indefinite delivery contract, valued at $151 billion with a performance period extending through December 28, 2035, represents a comprehensive, multi-domain defense procurement vehicle structured to support national defense objectives through detection, tracking, interception, and neutralization of threats to the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, and allies. The contract utilizes full and open competition with no set-asides and permits the government to issue multiple task and delivery orders across various contract types and classification levels. Performance will be distributed across multiple locations, with the initial delivery order valued at $500 and performed in Huntsville, Alabama, though the scope encompasses work areas including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, and test and evaluation.

The SHIELD contract addresses multi-domain threats across all flight phases, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile defense, as well as air, space, cyber, and hybrid threats. The procurement leverages advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to develop scalable solutions. The contract structure accommodates both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains and various North American Industry Classification System codes, enabling rapid order issuance under a single flexible contracting mechanism. This 10-year enterprise-wide vehicle consolidates multiple defense capabilities into one ordering instrument, allowing the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to efficiently manage modernization, cybersecurity, and integrated layered defense requirements while maintaining contractor flexibility across the full spectrum of development and operational activities.
