The initial task order issued to Fedscale Inc., valued at five hundred dollars and designated as a Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense Initial Order, is a firm fixed-price delivery order with performance in Huntsville, Alabama, scheduled for completion by December 28, 2035. The SHIELD IDIQ structure enables the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue subsequent task and delivery orders leveraging advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to fulfill evolving defense requirements over the 10-year contract term.
