The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Native American Industrial Solutions LLC (NAIS), an SBA-certified 8(a) Program Participant and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, on December 29, 2025. The contract, valued at $151 billion with an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035, establishes a comprehensive contracting vehicle for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts to support advanced, multi-domain defense capabilities. The SHIELD IDIQ is structured to procure systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks. The contract will leverage emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures, and is structured to support both classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains.

The initial task order issued under the SHIELD IDIQ, valued at $500 (firm fixed price), was awarded to NAIS on December 29, 2025, with performance at Huntsville, Alabama and an ultimate completion date of December 28, 2035. The procurement utilized full and open competition with no set-aside designations, allowing all qualified contractors to compete for multiple awards under the IDIQ structure. Individual task and delivery orders will utilize various contract types across multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, with potential orders at different classification levels requiring appropriate facility clearances. The contract represents a significant long-term investment in homeland defense capabilities, positioning the SHIELD IDIQ as a flexible contracting mechanism enabling the MDA and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders supporting the nation's multi-layered defense requirements over the 10-year period of performance.
