Special Warfare Procurement IDIQ (SW-MAC)

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center established the Special Warfare Procurement IDIQ (SW-MAC), a multiple-award Master IDIQ with a $950 million shared ceiling for special operational equipment, with ordering open through June 19, 2030. The solicitation set the vehicle aside 100% for total small business under NAICS 339999, and FAR 52.219-14 limitations on subcontracting apply to orders. The task-order record is mixed, however: 90 orders (69%) carry no set-aside and 41 orders (31%) are total small business.

Awarded June 19, 2020, the vehicle has about 3 years and 7 months of ordering authority remaining and has issued 131 task orders, with 18 in 2022, 27 in 2023, 24 in 2024, 21 in 2025, and 23 in 2026 to date. Obligations total $197.1 million, or 89% of the $220.6 million combined task-order potential value. The most recent award was made July 28, 2026.

Recent orders buy sonar, antenna and radio kits, battery chargers, oxygen equipment, parachute systems, underwater vehicles, safety boats, laptops and workstations, UAS spares, and training. Foreign military sales cases for Lithuania, Latvia, and New Zealand appear among the orders. The solicitation targeted approximately 3,500 Air Force Special Warfare operators assigned to Air Combat Command and Air Force Special Operations Command, plus other authorized users including foreign military allies.

Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. dominates with 74 orders and $187.1 million combined potential value. W S Darley & Co (21 orders, $16.4 million), Us21 Inc. (16 orders, $8.3 million), and Rrds Inc. (14 orders, $6.2 million) trail well behind, and Federal Resources Supply Company, LLC and one other prime share the remaining orders.

The Department of the Air Force accounts for 65 orders ($166.1 million combined potential value), and the Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center accounts for 64 orders ($54 million). Air Combat Command and the Air National Guard each placed one order.

Most individual orders are small. The largest recent award is the High Resolution Thermal Viewer with Sterna order, with $67.8 million obligated against a $68.0 million ceiling, awarded June 9, 2026. Most other recent orders fall below $3 million obligated, and several are under $20,000. Recent completion dates run from 2026 through 2029, with C2 Core Computers running to April 13, 2029.

In general, the scope of the IDIQ includes special operational equipment for ground mobility, aerial insertion, maritime/dive, assault zones, weather sensing, information technology, and surveying/mapping, including general apparel/personnel protective equipment, footwear, bags/packs, climbing, survival and navigation, and visual augmentation equipment.
