About the Contract
Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD)
MDA SHIELD is a multi-award contracting framework enabling DoD components to acquire classified and unclassified technologies that support a multi-domain, layered defensive architecture. SHIELD covers innovation spanning air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats, with an explicit goal of rapid delivery of new capabilities to the warfighter.
This indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract is designed to:
- Accelerate capability development through commercial and dual-use innovation.
- Enable rapid contracting for emerging threats and evolving mission needs.
- Build the foundation for the MDA-led "Golden Dome" homeland defense architecture, integrating government and commercial capabilities.
- Expand competition through continuous on-ramping.
Note: The MDA SHIELD IDIQ is not for Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) or Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) support. It is strictly for technical, research and development (R&D), prototyping, production, and innovation activities.
