AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) under the designation RFI_TE_26_4_Signature_Management_and_Defeat to identify and evaluate emerging technologies in signature management and signature defeat that could enhance Special Operations Forces (SOF) capabilities. This effort is part of Technical Experimentation (TE) 26-4, a non-acquisition event scheduled for 14–18 September 2026 in Red Springs, North Carolina, designed to assess technologies at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3–6 through operational demonstrations under expeditionary conditions. Respondents must submit nominations exclusively through the Vulcan system by 25 June 2026 at 12:00 noon EDT, accompanied by a completed Supplemental Information Form and a signed Photo Release form, with all submissions required to be unclassified. Participation is contingent on compliance with safety and regulatory requirements, including submission of a Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet (DD Form 2977) by 3 August 2026, adherence to MIL-STD-882E and ATP 5-19 for hazard analysis, and provision of FCC and NTIA frequency authorization for RF-emitting systems. Human subject research requires compliance with DoD Instruction 3216.02, and all proprietary information must be clearly marked with an understanding that the Government will not use it for future procurement or requirement development. All costs associated with participation—including transportation, equipment delivery, setup, and operational readiness—are borne by the respondent, with no financial obligation or contract award anticipated from this RFI, as explicitly stated under FAR 52.215-3. Equipment must be self-sufficient and capable of operation without reliance on venue infrastructure, and physical identification requires photos of devices with a reference object for scale. Traceability is enforced through standardized file naming conventions tied to Scout Card IDs and company identifiers. While no formal evaluation weights or award criteria are defined, selection for participation will be based on the potential technical maturity, relevance to SOF missions, and adaptability to current operational needs. No small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or Unique Entity ID (UEI) requirements are specified, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer roles are designated for this notice. The primary point of contact for technical inquiries is tech_exp@socom.mil, with the
