The Missile Defense Agency is giving potential bidders an extra week to file proposals in response to its Golden Dome solicitation, the agency said, noting industry’s “considerable interest.”
The Sept. 10 request for proposals for SHIELD, or the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense effort, kicked off a competition for up to $151 billion in contracts to develop and integrate homeland missile defense capabilities. The 10-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract will enable MDA to establish a pool of qualified companies to which the Pentagon can issue task orders for prototyping, experimentation, testing, and other activities.
