Guardian Defense Group, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) on September 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $9.32 million and ultimate completion date of July 17, 2030. The contract procures psychological assessment support services for the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) Directorate of Psychological Applications, supporting critical personnel assessment, selection, training, and development processes across multiple special operations units including the 1st Special Forces Command, 75th Ranger Regiment, and 160th Special Operations Regiment. Services are to be performed at multiple Continental United States (CONUS) locations including Fort Liberty, North Carolina; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; and Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington. The contractor must maintain a TOP SECRET facility clearance and demonstrate expertise in operational psychology, candidate assessment, psychological evaluation, and quality assurance program management. Historical workload data indicates approximately 646 total man-days of service annually, with the contract structure comprising a 15-day phase-in period, one base year, and four subsequent 12-month ordering periods.
Two task orders have been issued under this indefinite delivery vehicle, with the initial order valued at $1.11 million (satisfying the government's $100,000 minimum guarantee) and a subsequent delivery order valued at $228,592.30, both awarded to Army Special Operations Command on September 1 and September 11, 2025, respectively, and performing work at Fort Liberty, North Carolina through July 17, 2026. Both delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts without additional set-aside designations. Guardian Defense Group will provide comprehensive psychological assessment support services, including personnel evaluation, leadership development, operational psychology support, threat management, and force protection services to enhance mission readiness and organizational effectiveness across Army special operations forces. The contractor's extensive experience delivering behavioral assessment support and psychological evaluation services across multiple Department of Defense agencies positions it to fulfill the specialized requirements of Army Special Operations Command's personnel development and operational readiness objectives.
