The United States Special Operations Command awarded a Master IDIQ to provide Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance services to Naval Special Warfare Command, with ordering closed as of August 7, 2021. This vehicle is no longer active for new task orders; the ordering period ended nearly five years ago.

The vehicle was established August 9, 2016, and generated 75 task orders over its five-year life, with peak ordering activity in 2020 (20 orders) that declined sharply in 2021 (10 orders before the ordering deadline). The combined potential value across all task orders is $25.2 million, with $25 million obligated—99 percent of the total ceiling.

Competition is highly concentrated. Coastal Defense Inc. and Oscar Deuce LLC together hold 56 orders valued at $23.5 million—approximately 93 percent of the vehicle's combined potential value. Avwatch, Inc. holds 11 orders; Consulting Services Group, LLC holds 7 orders; and Broadbay Group Corp. holds a single order. All five firms are small businesses.

Roughly 95 percent of funding comes through United States Special Operations Command (71 orders, $15.4 million combined potential value). The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center issued 4 orders valued at $9.8 million.

Set-aside designations show 63 orders (84 percent) unrestricted and 12 orders (16 percent) small-business set-aside. Early task orders from August 2016 included small-business minimum-guarantee awards; from mid-2018 onward, unrestricted competitive awards became dominant, though small-business orders continued intermittently through mid-2020. Task orders represent firm-fixed-price delivery orders, typically ranging from $25 thousand to $1.4 million in ceiling value, with representative durations of two to six months. The largest individual task order was delivery order H9224016D0027-N0042118F0748, awarded June 11, 2018, with a $3.8 million ceiling. Recent orders (2020–2021) show declining activity and flat or declining order values, consistent with the vehicle's wind-down before the ordering deadline.
