Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SHIELD Multiple Award IDIQ Contract

The Department of Defense’s Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is issuing an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract (HQ085925RE‑001, “SHIELD”) to support missile‑defense‑related capabilities across 19 broadly defined work areas (Section C, Paragraph 2.0, items 2.1‑2.19). The solicitation does not provide detailed descriptions or specific requirements for each work area; the government has indicated that the scope is intentionally broad and that individual task or delivery order requirements will be defined in separate future solicitations. Consequently, offerors must rely on their own judgment to align corporate experience with the listed work areas and will be evaluated on overall capability rather than on narrowly scoped statements of work. Key contractual nuances include: (1) each order may have unique terms and requirements—uniformity across orders is not mandated; (2) the acquisition strategy for cloud/AI services has not yet been determined, and any related work will be addressed in subsequent orders; (3) subcontracting goals do not include a Large Business target, and offerors must meet or exceed Small Business goals as outlined in the subcontracting plan; and (4) submitting the same corporate‑experience references under multiple UEIs (e.g., as a prime and as part of a joint venture) will not be considered a duplicate proposal. Offerors should prepare proposals that demonstrate broad technical competence and relevant past performance for the 19 work areas while anticipating that detailed task‑order specifications will be issued later.
