Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DG282

Virtual Service Operations LLC (VSO) was awarded a $151 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. This contract supports the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, a comprehensive multi-domain defense initiative designed to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and partner nations. The contract encompasses advanced capabilities across air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threat domains, addressing threats from ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial platforms throughout all phases of flight. Under this IDIQ vehicle, VSO is authorized to perform research and development, prototyping, disruptive technology development, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple technology domains including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures.

The SHIELD IDIQ contract was awarded through full and open competition with no set-aside designations, making VSO one of multiple awardees on the vehicle. Work will be performed across multiple locations, with initial tasking established through a firm fixed-price delivery order valued at five hundred dollars for minimum obligation support, with work performance centered in Huntsville, Alabama. Individual task and delivery orders issued under this IDIQ will utilize various contract types and may span multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with work potentially classified at different security levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. The contract structure enables MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders across both classified and unclassified programs, positioning VSO as a potential resource for sustained capability development and modernization of the nation's layered defense architecture through 2035.
