Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DG445

Shivan Technologies, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Leesburg, Virginia, was awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on December 29, 2025, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The contract, designated as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, employs full and open competition with no set-aside designations and is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains. The MDA issued this pre-solicitation notice in May 2025 with the intent to award multiple qualifying offerors who submit technically acceptable proposals with fair and reasonable pricing. The contract encompasses a broad range of activities including research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts.

The SHIELD IDIQ 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 from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Performance is scheduled across a 10-year base period with optional ordering periods, with individual task and delivery orders utilizing various contract types across multiple NAICS codes and potentially requiring different classification levels with appropriate facility clearances. An initial delivery order valued at $500 for SHIELD services was issued on December 29, 2025, with performance planned in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide a comprehensive contracting solution supporting MDA and other Department of Defense entities in rapidly issuing orders for the nation's multi-layered homeland defense requirements.
