TECHNICAL COLLECTION AND COMMUNICATIONS FIELD SUPPORT AND TRAINING Follow-On

United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice to identify capable industry partners for a potential single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. The requirement focuses on providing technical collection and communications field support and training, including Field Service Representatives (FSRs), operational planners, and program office support. The anticipated scope involves over 100 subject matter experts providing new equipment training and operational support to SOF military units, Component Headquarters, and Theater Special Operations Commands. Services will be delivered globally, including in hazardous duty areas and OCONUS locations, with a requirement for the contractor to provide qualified personnel within 30 days for surge requirements. The government anticipates a five-year ordering period with a total ceiling exceeding 100 million dollars, primarily utilizing firm-fixed-price contracts, though labor-hour and cost-reimbursement options may be included. High security standards are mandatory, requiring the contractor to maintain a Top Secret facility clearance and the majority of personnel to hold TS/SCI clearances. Compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), as well as specific disclosure clauses 5652.204-9003 and DFARS 252.204-7000, is required. This is currently a research phase to assess industry capacity and inform the acquisition strategy, and no formal solicitation has been issued at this time.
