$IONQ Realistic SHIELD IDIQ Awards for IONQ Portfolio (out of
$151B ceiling):2026 (this year): ~
$25 million
2027 (next year): ~
$75 million
Combined next two years:
$100 million
This is a conservative, realistic estimate based on IonQ’s Feb 23, 2026 award (one of >2,400 eligible), the vehicle entering task-order phase in late 2025, first FOPRs expected mid-2026, and gradual ramp-up typical for large DoD IDIQs. No guarantees—pure competition—but IONQ’s explicit full-stack positioning (quantum + named subs) gives strong niche fit. Bulk of any larger upside (
$2–5B portfolio potential) spreads over the full 10-year period through 2035.Contributed by (all under IONQ umbrella):
