Special Operations Forces - Training, Testing, and Transition Services (SOF-T Serve)

The U.S. Army is seeking commercial solutions through the Special Operations Forces - Training, Testing, and Transition Services (SOF-T Serve) initiative, issued under Army Open Solicitation W9128Z-25-S-A002, with the goal of rapidly identifying and fielding innovative commercial capabilities to enhance the readiness and lethality of Special Operations Forces. This Call for Solutions, posted on June 29, 2026, with a submission deadline of July 17, 2026, targets companies capable of delivering agile, commercially driven services across three core areas: Comprehensive Personnel Training & Readiness, Mission Technique & Technology Testing, and Rapid Prototyping & Technology Transition. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to provide Firm-Fixed-Price task order proposals within seven calendar days using transparent commercial pricing, reflecting the program’s focus on speed and market-responsive execution. The solicitation anticipates awarding multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts under the SOF-T Serve portfolio, leveraging the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 212.70 for Commercial Solutions Opening and potentially resulting in Other Transaction authority agreements not bound by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Submission requirements include an eight-page Solution Brief formatted in 14-point Times New Roman, with a mandatory title page containing the company’s name, CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, SAM.gov registration status, small business categorizations, and point of contact details. Proposals must be submitted via email to the designated contracting officers by the deadline, with subject lines including “Call for Solution - SOF-2026-TSERVE.” Evaluation is based on three weighted factors—Technical and Management Merit, Mission Benefit and Relevance, and Pricing—with the first two deemed equally important and more critical than pricing. Compliance is strictly vetted on timeliness, page limits, and inclusion of all required elements before advancement. Selected offerors may proceed through optional live demonstrations, followed by detailed proposal submissions and final negotiations. All winners must register in Wide Area Work Flow for invoicing, maintain active SAM.gov registration throughout performance, and disclose any Organizational Conflicts of Interest with a mitigation plan if applicable. Performance is centered in Orlando, Florida, with no specified contract ceiling, and all obligations are subject to Congressional appropriations. The Government may use non-government advisors under non-disclosure agreements during evaluation, and intellectual property usage rights must be explicitly identified without counting toward the page limit.
