AOI IV: Rapid Prototyping / Low-Rate Production

The SOF RACER initiative, managed by the US Special Operations Command under SOF AT&L, seeks offerors capable of providing innovative commercial items, technologies, and services to support rapid prototyping and low-rate production. The primary objective is to facilitate the fast-paced manufacturing of small lots, specifically fewer than 100 units, of experimental electronics, chipsets, batteries, and other multi-material prototypes. These efforts will be driven by specific task orders issued by S&T Futures and the Experimentation Force. Classified as a forecast under NAICS code 334418, this opportunity focuses on Area of Interest IV for Rapid Prototyping and Low-Rate Production. The program is designed to bridge the gap between conceptual design and physical experimentation, ensuring that the Special Operations community has access to cutting-edge hardware and electronic components through an agile procurement and manufacturing pipeline.
