4th Psychological Operations Group (4 POG)The U.S. Special Operations Command’s 4th Psychological Operations Group, in partnership with SOFWERX, is seeking innovative software solutions to develop a unified, AI-enabled platform that integrates existing tools used for information dissemination and influence operations. This initiative aims to replace fragmented systems with a single, streamlined dashboard tailored to the operational needs of psychological operations personnel, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness across the full spectrum of mission workflows. Participation is open exclusively to U.S. citizens from industry, academia, and national laboratories, with a mandatory deadline of 5 August 2026 to request attendance at the Collaboration Event scheduled for 23–24 September 2026 at Smith Lake Recreational Center in North Carolina. The event will include structured breakout sessions to define problem sets and an optional industry expo to showcase technologies, enabling direct engagement with warfighters and potential collaborators. Following the Collaboration Event, a formal Assessment Event (AE) will open for submissions on 19 October 2026, with a virtual Q&A session on 4 November 2026 to clarify requirements. Submissions will be evaluated on technical merit, with selected participants invited to present their solutions during the AE from 12–14 January 2027. Successful candidates may be offered follow-on agreements under non-FAR authorities including Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. § 4022, research and development partnerships via SOFWERX’s Partnership Intermediary Agreement, or other authorized mechanisms such as Cooperative Research and Development Agreements or prize competitions. Award recipients will be required to comply with NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Responses must be submitted by 5 August 2026 to secure entry into the process, with further instructions and criteria to be published closer to the AE submission window.
