AI Contract Overview
The SOF Global Services Delivery (SOFGSD) contract is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) solicitation issued by the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), designed to provide a broad range of knowledge-based and subject matter expert services in support of USSOCOM’s enterprise requirements globally. The contract encompasses Education and Training Services, Management Support, Program Management, Engineering, Technical and Professional Services, and Administrative support. Each individual task order will specify detailed requirements, period of performance, place of performance (typically MacDill AFB, FL and other CONUS/OCONUS locations), and deliverables. The scope emphasizes USSOCOM’s key imperatives—stability, agility, and reach—supporting evolving mission needs across various geographic sites and organizational components. Task order task types may include Time and Materials, Labor Hour, Firm Fixed Price, or Cost-Reimbursement contracts, with a minimum transition time generally expected to be 14 days from award to performance start. Offerors must submit comprehensive proposals structured into volumes covering administrative documentation, technical proposals with substantiating work samples, and pricing data. The evaluation is based on a Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) best value approach, not Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA), with the Government validating offerors’ self-scores against submitted work samples and cross-reference materials. Up to fifteen awards are anticipated, provided offerors meet all criteria including fair, reasonable, and realistic pricing, responsibility determinations per FAR Part 9, and compliance with cybersecurity requirements, specifically CMMC Level 1 (Self), mandatory at proposal submission for all team members. The evaluation includes detailed scoring across categories such as relevant experience, geographic scope and complexity of past contracts, personnel qualifications, labor categories, and CPARS performance ratings. The RFP incorporates specific FAR, DFARS, and USSOCOM regulations governing conflict of interest, ordering procedures, contract administration, and security mandates. Key contract provisions include a requirement for offerors to hold a Top Secret Facility Clearance at the time of proposal submission, with personnel clearances ranging up to Top Secret and potentially SCI or other special access requirements depending on task orders. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) mitigation plans must be submitted and may be evaluated primarily at task order issuance. The contract anticipates no packaging or marking requirements at the IDIQ level; such provisions will be specified at task order level if necessary. Contractors will be required to maintain robust contract administration practices, including assigning a designated IDIQ Program Manager

Update as of 12 Sept 2025
This update is provided to place offerors on notice that a final rule for DFARS Case 2019-D041 - Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Assessing Contractor Implementation of Cybersecurity Requirements was released on 10 Sept 2025. A copy of the rule is located here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/10/2025-17359/defense-federal-acquisition-regulation-supplement-assessing-contractor-implementation-of
Based on the rule implementation date of 10 November 2025, and an anticipated RFP release date that falls after the implementation date, the Government will include a CMMC pass/fail requirement in the final RFP as qualifying criteria. It is currently anticipated that a "CMMC Level 1 (Self)" will be required at time of proposal submission. Potential offerors are encouraged to begin working to meet this requirement if you have not already done so.
Please note that the rule requires that all identified team members will be required to meet this requirement at time of proposal. Prime offerors are encouraged to ensure team members have also completed this requirement, as a Prime offeror will be disqualified if it is determined that a identified team member does not also meet the CMMC Level 1 (Self) qualification.
Sections L and M will be updated in a future draft RFP posting.

SOFGSD Draft RFP Compiled Q&A 20250613
It is noted that the Government did not include a full list of the questions asked. There were a large number of repeat questions, for which the Government provided only one version, and some questions could not be answered by the Government due to the nature of the question. The Government attempted to provide clear and complete answers to the remaining questions.
Note that the list of SLIDO questions asked during the SOF Week SOFGSD Sidebar have been included at the end of the Compiled Q&A file. Not all questions asked during the Sidebar were answered at that time, and the Government has not provided answers to any of these questions here. There were no slides shown during the Sidebar, and therefore, none are attached to this notice.

Please note: you will not receive a confirmation notice or email from registering for either in-person or virtual attendance at Industry Day. When completing your registration, you would have been given notice on the site that you had been registered and have been shown the responses you provided to the registration questions. If you saw this, then you can be assured that you have been registered.
<<BREAK>>
Update as of 11 Jun 2025
Currently, we have reached in person capacity for Industry Day. No further requests for in person attendance can be accepted. However, virtual attendance registration will remain open until June 13th.
To remove the appearance of unequal access, the Government has determined that 1-on-1 sessions will no longer be held for this solicitation. The Government will not be providing any additional information during 1-on-1s that has/will not have been made available through means such as the SOFGSD Side Bar, Industry Day, and multiple rounds of draft RFP Q&A. Additionally, the Government requests questions continue to be submitted through the current Q&A process to ensure all potential offerors receive the same information. Again, all previously scheduled 1-on-1s have been cancelled.
To increase transparency, the Government will be conducting a second day of briefings that will focus on a deep dive into a sampling of core requirements and talk through some emerging requirements that may be competed under the SOFGSD IDIQ once awarded. Since Day 2 is specifically focused on a sampling of the types of work expected; the government will not address questions on the solicitation process, scoring, or other information on the IDIQ. Three sessions will be held on Tuesday, 17 Jun 2025 discussing different aspects of requirements that fall within the SOFGSD SOW. No separate registration is required, and all sessions will be made available virtual.
<<BREAK>>
Update as of 6 Jun 2026 - 2PM
The Government has received an overwhelming number of requests for 1-on-1 meetings that far exceed the available timeslots. We are discussing options that are available to us in this situation, requesting input from leadership and our Legal Advisors. We will provide additional information regarding 1-on-1 meetings early next week.
