About this IDV
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the University of West Florida (UWF) on January 21, 2026, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035. This contract, entitled Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD), was awarded on a full and open competitive basis with no set-asides utilized. The contract vehicle is designed to procure an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Work areas encompass research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts. The initial delivery order issued to UWF on January 21, 2026, carries a firm fixed-price award of $500 and includes performance at the MDA facility in Huntsville, Alabama.
Under this IDIQ structure, the MDA intends to leverage advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to support both classified and unclassified defense programs across multiple security domains. The contract is structured to enable rapid task order issuance across multiple contract types and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with individual orders potentially requiring appropriate facility clearances for classified work. As a comprehensive university with an established track record in federal contracting and research administration, UWF will support the MDA's multi-layered defense requirements through its Research Administration & Engagement Division, building upon its prior experience delivering specialized services to Department of Defense entities and federal agencies.
