The Pentagon, through the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), has issued the first round of awards under a large contracting vehicle called the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract.
Under this umbrella, 1,014 companies have been selected as “qualifying offerors” that can compete for future task orders related to the Golden Dome missile defense shield or other missile-defense and related projects.
BAE Systems, Booz Allen Hamilton, L3Harris and General Atomics are among these 1,014 pre-qualified firms, meaning they are now eligible to bid for and perform specific work packages issued under SHIELD. The overall contract ceiling is up to about 151 billion dollars over ten years, covering research, development, integration, testing, and other activities that may support Golden Dome or other U.S. missile defense initiatives.
