Solicitation # SOFRange2027
The International Special Operations Forces (ISOF) Range 2027 is a technology demonstration event scheduled for April 13-14, 2027, at the Nevada Test and Training Range. Organized by the Program Manager for SOF Lethality in partnership with various Department of Defense entities, including USSOCOM and the Joint Services Small Arms Program, the event serves as hands-on market research to identify innovative lethality technologies that address capability gaps. Industry, academia, and government R&D organizations are invited to apply as exhibitors to showcase technologies in categories such as weapons, munitions, visual augmentation systems, and counter unmanned aircraft systems. Most technologies must be at Technology Readiness Level 7 or higher, though lower levels are acceptable for other disruptive technologies. This action is a Request for Information (RFI) and not a solicitation for proposals; therefore, no contracts will be awarded based solely on this announcement. Interested parties must submit technology applications via the designated portal, with a first tranche deadline of October 30, 2026, and a final deadline of January 29, 2027. Selection is based on how well the technology addresses lethality gaps as evaluated by subject matter experts. All costs associated with attendance, shipping, and ammunition are the responsibility of the respondent. Participants must adhere to Military-Standard 882E for system safety and comply with ITAR and EAR export control regulations. Required documentation may include specific worksheets for lasers, unmanned aircraft systems, or unmanned ground vehicles, as well as a concept of operations.
