The United States Army National Guard, through the United States Property and Fiscal Office in Montgomery, Alabama, is conducting market research to identify qualified small business entities capable of delivering comprehensive Pre-Mission Readiness Training for the 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne). This effort, identified by reference number W912JA-27-Q-1CC4 and aligned with NAICS code 611699, seeks vendors with demonstrated expertise in delivering four specialized tactical courses: Mobile Force Protection, Optional Advanced Skills Training, Surveillance Identification and Operations, and Asymmetrical Threat Survivability. These courses require high-intensity, hands-on instruction in evasive and tactical driving, live-fire weapons employment, explosive breaching, counter-surveillance, and mission profiling under realistic combat conditions. The government is specifically targeting Small Business, SDVOSB, WOSB, 8(a), and HubZone contractors to determine the optimal acquisition path, with a preference for set-asides to support small business participation. Qualified respondents must possess immediate access to a U.S.-based training facility with multiple paved and unpaved driving tracks, including at least one three-quarter-mile track capable of supporting high-speed evasive maneuvers. They must maintain an active, secure arms vault to store military-grade weapons and pyrotechnics, supply their own instructor cadre with documented real-world Special Operations experience within the past five years, and enforce a strict 1:3 instructor-to-student ratio on all live training ranges. Core instruction, role players, and OPFOR must be provided exclusively by the contractor’s full-time personnel—subcontracting is prohibited for these functions. Proposals must include a 10-page Capability Statement detailing corporate background, facility specifications, equipment availability, instructor credentials, explosives handling certifications, and three relevant past performance examples completed within the last five years. Responses are due by August 21, 2026, must be submitted electronically in PDF format to designated government contacts, and require active SAM.gov registration. The government will not compensate respondents, and all submissions will be treated as proprietary and confidential.
