PEO-M Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Poseidon's Fury Collaboration Event (CE)

Solicitation # PEO_M_USV_Poseidon_s_Fury_CE

SOFWERX and the USSOCOM Program Executive Office Maritime (PEO-M) are hosting the Poseidon’s Fury Collaboration Event to accelerate the development of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle Mission-Aligned Reference Architecture (MARA), a standards-based framework designed to improve interoperability across Joint Force manned and unmanned maritime systems while eliminating redundant, service-specific platform development. This initiative is open exclusively to U.S. persons and involves a two-phase process beginning with a virtual collaboration event on August 26, 2026, where SOF operators and industry partners will engage in breakout sessions to define operational needs around user interface, autonomy, command and control, and platform effectiveness. Participation in this event is optional but strongly encouraged to align solutions with warfighter requirements, with registration closing August 14, 2026. Those who do not attend the CE may still submit capabilities for consideration during the Assessment Event, which opens on September 14, 2026, and closes October 2, 2026. A virtual Q&A session is available on September 23 for clarification on technical expectations. Selected submissions will undergo a downselect process, with winners invited to participate in a comprehensive on-water Assessment Event at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, between November 2 and 20, 2026. Participants must demonstrate their USV capabilities in real-world conditions, with evaluations conducted by Subject Matter Experts from USSOCOM, JHU APL, WARCOM, and MARSOC using predefined technical and operational criteria. Successful performers may be transitioned to Phase 5, where potential pathways for follow-on acquisition include Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. §4022, research agreements under 15 U.S.C. §3715, cooperative R&D agreements, experimental procurement under §4023, or prize competitions—potentially leading to non-competitive production awards based on successful prototype outcomes. All awardees must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for securing Controlled Unclassified Information, and eligibility is limited to U.S. persons and organizations capable of supporting USSOCOM’s unique maritime missions.

MARSOC: Automated Armory Collaboration Event (CE)

Solicitation # MARSOC_Automated_Armory_CE

MARSOC, in partnership with SOFWERX, is inviting U.S. industry, academia, and national laboratories to collaboratively develop a revolutionary automated armory system that eliminates manual inventory processes through a fully passive, image-based tracking solution. The initiative targets the modernization of serialized weapon and equipment accountability by replacing paper logs, handwritten forms, and RFID or radio-frequency systems with secure optical recognition and computer vision technologies. Participants are challenged to design a system that authenticates users via CAC, automatically logs equipment issuance and recovery through photographic scans, tracks item locations, and maintains tamper-proof audit trails—all without emitting any RF signals to preserve operational security. The effort is driven by the need to reduce human error, minimize administrative burden, and ensure absolute accountability in high-stakes special operations environments. The collaboration unfolds in stages: first, a mandatory submission deadline of 16 August 2026 for attendance at the in-person Collaboration Event on 17 September 2026 at SOFWERX in Florida, where stakeholders will engage directly with warfighters to refine requirements. Those unable to attend may still submit solutions by 20 October 2026 for the Assessment Event, which includes a virtual Q&A on 3 November and a downselect by 1 December. Finalists will present live demonstrations during the Assessment Event from 15 to 17 December 2026, with top-performing solutions potentially entering into non-traditional agreements under 10 U.S.C. Sections 4021, 4022, or other alternative contracting authorities such as OTAs, CRADAs, or prize competitions. Selected participants must comply with NIST SP 800-171 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Only U.S. persons and U.S. industry entities are eligible to participate, and success in this event may lead directly to follow-on production agreements without additional competition.

Contactless Iris Collection Collaboration Event

Solicitation # Contactless_Iris_Collection_Collaboration_Event

The U.S. Special Operations Command Program Executive Office for Tactical Information Systems, in partnership with SOFWERX, is conducting a structured initiative to evaluate the feasibility of using commercially available Android-based mobile devices for contactless iris image capture—without supplemental hardware—to meet biometric collection standards for integration into the Automated Biometric Identification System. This effort targets the validation of native mobile camera performance under public optical specifications against ISO and DoD biometric standards, aiming to reduce size, weight, and power requirements by leveraging built-in device lighting, including near-infrared wavelengths between 805 nm and 1,000 nm. To support this goal, a Collaboration Event is scheduled for 30 September 2026 at SOFWERX in Florida, limited to U.S. citizens and requiring registration by 28 August 2026. The event will facilitate direct engagement between warfighters and technology providers, enabling feedback loops on operational requirements and problem-solving, and is designed to prepare participants for the upcoming Assessment Event. Following the Collaboration Event, a submission window for the Assessment Event will open from 27 October to 27 November 2026, during which participants may submit their technologies for technical evaluation. A virtual Q&A session is scheduled for 11 November to clarify requirements. Submissions will be assessed on technical merit, with selected candidates invited to the Assessment Event on 19–21 January 2026, where they will present and demonstrate their solutions to an evaluation panel. Successful technologies may lead to negotiated awards under non-FAR authorities such as Other Transaction Authorities (10 U.S.C. §§ 4021, 4022), Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, or Business-to-Business agreements via SOFWERX’s Partnership Intermediary Agreement, with the potential for follow-on production without recompetition if prototype goals are met. Awardees must comply with NIST SP 800-171 standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information, and solutions must demonstrate significant matching scores across diverse populations, device-specific performance metrics, and reliable performance with unmodified consumer hardware.

The prototype phase will span 12 months, with potential for additional tasks and sites, and may lead to a non-competitive follow-on production OTA if successful. As part of the process, a mandatory site visit is scheduled for late April 2026, requiring interested vendors to register in advance and attend to be eligible to submit proposals. The solicitation will incorporate updated federal requirements, including prohibitions related to certain telecommunications and video surveillance equipment. Only entities with active membership in the Cornerstone consortium, demonstrated by a signed management agreement, will be eligible for award. Communications regarding the CIR and membership details will be distributed via email to current and pending consortium members. The notice emphasizes that this announcement is for planning purposes only and does not guarantee a solicitation release or government commitment. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor updates and direct inquiries to the designated Cornerstone mailbox.
