Shield Services LLC

Shield Services LLC, doing business as Shield Security Services, is a minority-owned, Native American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Princeton, Minnesota that operates as a prime contractor delivering snow and ice removal, grounds maintenance, and facilities support services to the U.S. Department of Defense on a Total Small Business set-aside basis. The vendor competes predominantly under small business set-asides; 100 percent of recent awards are primes (no subcontract work in the source).

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a single customer and a single service line. The Department of the Army Reserve Command accounts for 829 of 891 recent awards (93 percent by count, 56 percent by combined potential value of $54.1 million). The next-largest customer is the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, which carries $25.7 million in combined potential value across two awards—a notable contrast to the Reserve Command's volume-driven relationship. By dollar magnitude, HHS NIH represents the second-largest customer opportunity, but this exposure is narrow: two unfunded or administratively-held awards rather than recurring delivery orders. The Department of the Army (distinct from the Reserve Command) placed 33 awards for $2.7 million.

The capability portfolio is concrete and narrow: snow and ice removal services dominate at 785 awards classified under PSC code S218 (Housekeeping-Snow Removal/Salt), followed by grounds maintenance and landscaping (86 awards, PSC code for Landscaping/Groundskeeping). NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) encompasses 767 awards. Representative Army Reserve work includes a $241,395 purchase order (February 2026) for non-personal snow removal services at the Provo, Utah facility through October 2030 under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $338,460 purchase order (December 2025) for snow removal at Evansville, Indiana through October 2030; and a $156,150 Indefinite Delivery contract (November 2025) for snow and ice removal at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, with a $129.1 million delivery order follow-on issued December 2025. The HHS NIH awards—$13.2 million from the Office of Research Facilities Development Operations Acquisitions (pre-award) and $12.5 million from the Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations—appear to be grant funding or unfunded commitments rather than active delivery orders, based on their status in the source.

Shield Services holds multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery contracts with the Army Reserve Command. The top parent vehicles by task-order count are older IDIQ vehicles (W15QKN15D1046 with 7 task orders totaling $22 thousand; W15QKN20D5004 with 7 task orders totaling $205 thousand). More recently, Shield Services has been awarded new single-award IDIQ vehicles in late 2025 and early 2026 across facilities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, each with ceiling values ranging from $27.2 thousand to $645.5 million. These new IDIQs establish the contracting vehicle for delivery orders issued against individual Army Reserve installations.

Activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years—75 to 77 awards per year in 2022–2024, declining to 56 in 2025 and 35 year-to-date in 2026 (through mid-March). This decline likely reflects the timing of new IDIQ awards consolidating multiple facilities under single vehicles rather than a loss of customer demand. Forty-one awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.1 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in Army Reserve delivery orders across existing IDIQ vehicles.

Shield Services has not been named as a subcontractor to other primes in the source data; the vendor operates exclusively in a prime capacity. The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles such as Alliant or OASIS; its work flows through Army Reserve-specific Indefinite Delivery contracts. The company has maintained SAM registration since 2004 and holds certifications as Native American-owned, DOT Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, and self-certified small disadvantaged business—credentials that anchor its competitive posture in the Total Small Business set-aside marketplace.
