US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has issued Request for Information (RFI) TE 26-1 to identify technology experimentation candidates from industry, academia, and research organizations for an event focused on Multi-Domain Joint SOF Operations. Scheduled for January 26-30, 2026, at Hurlburt Field, Florida, the event seeks emerging technologies with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 or higher. Key areas of interest include high altitude platforms, lightweight air launched effects delivery systems, deception software, and advanced communication systems. This RFI is for market research and technology identification purposes only; the government does not intend to award a contract or provide payment based on this notice. Interested parties must submit nominations electronically via the Vulcan system by October 17, 2025. A complete submission requires a Scout Card and a mandatory Supplemental Information Sheet in Microsoft Excel format. Selection is based on the potential capability increase to SOF, technical maturity, and relevance to operational needs. Participants are responsible for all associated costs, including travel and experimentation expenses, and must be self-sufficient during the event. Safety is a primary requirement, necessitating the use of Deliberate Risk Assessment worksheets and adherence to the USSOCOM Technical Experimentation Event Safety Guide.

Commercial Solutions Opening Tactical Maritime Survivability (TMS) and Target Vessel Embarkation Equipment (TVEE)
Solicitation # H92240-27-SC-001
The Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), in partnership with USSOCOM, is utilizing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) under solicitation H92240-27-SC-001 to accelerate the development and procurement of Tactical Maritime Survivability (TMS) and Target Vessel Embarkation Equipment (TVEE). The primary objective is to modernize maritime assault and boarding operations by acquiring ruggedized, portable scaling and breaching tools, such as high-angle scaling poles, powered ascenders, lightweight tactical ladders, and non-munitions breaching kits. These capabilities are intended to reduce operator exposure and vulnerability during high-risk Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) and Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO). The acquisition process follows a multi-phased approach consisting of a Phase I Solution Brief/White Paper, an optional Phase II Demonstration/Pitch, and a Phase III Proposal stage. The government may award either Firm-Fixed Price contracts under FAR Part 12 or Other Transaction (OT) agreements pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4021-23. The parent CSO remains open for 26 months, with the current submission deadline for the first call set for October 26, 2026. Evaluation is based on merit, innovation, relevance, business viability, and affordability. To be eligible for award, companies must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and use the Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) for invoicing. Foreign-owned businesses may participate independently or through teaming arrangements with U.S. businesses, provided they obtain necessary export clearances.

USSOCOM Open Call for Technical Experimentation 27-1: Special Operations Forces (SOF) Combat Diving (Diver Communications, Diver Propulsion, Underwater Interfaces) and Maritime Domain Situational Awareness Sensing Integration on USVs
Solicitation # USSOCOM_Open_Call_for_Technical_Experimentation_27_1_SOF
US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has issued an Open Call for Technical Experimentation 27-1 to solicit technology nominations from academia, private industry, and research and development organizations. The effort focuses on two primary areas: Special Operations Forces (SOF) Combat Diving, specifically regarding diver communications, propulsion, and underwater interfaces, and Maritime Domain Situational Awareness through the integration of sensing capabilities onto unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). The goal is to identify and demonstrate emerging technologies, typically at Technology Readiness Levels 5 to 7, that provide a potential capability increase to SOF. Selected participants will demonstrate their technology from December 7 through 11, 2026, at the USASOC Special Forces Underwater Operations School in Key West, Florida. All costs associated with submissions, travel, and experimentation are the responsibility of the respondent. While this is an initial request for information, future awards may be executed through non-FAR vehicles, including Other Transactions under 10 U.S.C. 4021, 4022, or 4023, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, or Partnership Intermediary Agreement Collaborative Project Orders. Interested parties must submit technology nominations via the Vulcan system by October 22, 2026, at 12:00 Noon Eastern Time. Submissions must include a mandatory Electronic Supplemental Information form, a signed photo release, and technical documentation validating the TRL. Additional requirements for selected demonstrators include submitting frequency authority documentation by November 4, 2026, and a Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet by November 20, 2026. All participants must comply with FCC and NTIA regulations for radio frequency emissions and adhere to ITAR and EAR export control requirements.
