The Department of State is seeking industry input for the potential next iteration of the Diplomatic Platform Support Services II (DiPSS II) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, which is currently in the planning and market research phase. This sources sought notice is not a solicitation and does not bind the government to any future award; it is intended solely to gather information on industry capabilities, market interest, and feasibility across seven core capability areas: Program Management, Construction, Life Support, Logistics and Supplies, Medical and Emergency Operations, Maintenance, and Security Support Services. The contract will support U.S. diplomatic missions globally, with a significant focus on contingency environments in the Middle East and South-Central Asia, though performance will not be restricted to any single region. Responses must include company details, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), CAGE Code, point of contact information, and statements addressing the ability to recruit personnel for austere locations, suitability for cost-type contracts, and intent to form joint ventures, along with up to five relevant contract examples in a prescribed table format. Feedback on the draft capability areas and NAICS codes is also requested. The submission must be no more than ten pages long, excluding the seven mandatory responses, and delivered via email to Ryan Colgan and Justin Rautenbach no later than 3:00 PM EST on April 16, 2026. All submissions will be treated as confidential and will not result in reimbursements or debriefings. The Department encourages responses from small businesses and joint ventures, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in global contingency operations and the flexibility to operate under either time-and-materials or cost-type contract structures. The procurement is structured as a multiple-award IDIQ and may involve task orders up to $1 million each, though no official contract value ceiling has been established. No formal evaluation factors, pricing details, or binding contract clauses are present at this stage, and the government has not yet finalized the acquisition strategy or selection method. Additional information will be announced through SAM.gov once the solicitation is released.
