The Missile Defense Agency is preparing to launch one of the largest contracting vehicles in U.S. history: SHIELD—the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense contract, valued at up to $151 billion over 10 years.
This episode of FedBiz'5 explains what SHIELD is, how it fits into the broader Golden Dome initiative, and why it’s structured differently from past defense contracts. Learn how the “all technically acceptable offers win” model works, what the 19 scope areas and 40 NAICS codes mean for participation, and where small businesses can find entry points through subcontracting and teaming.
You’ll also hear actionable steps contractors should take now to prepare—so when the final RFP drops, you’re positioned to compete with confidence.
Five minutes, countless opportunities.
