USSOCOM RDT&E 2014-2019

United States Special Operations Command established this Master IDIQ for RDT&E services on July 11, 2014, with ordering authority closed as of July 11, 2019. This vehicle is no longer active — the ordering period closed seven years ago and no new task orders may be placed.

The vehicle funded five task orders totaling $727 thousand in combined potential value, all obligated. Work spanned RDT&E prototype and breadboard development, non-recurring engineering, and production prototype activities. Three awards occurred in July 2014 upon vehicle establishment (three orders valued at $8 thousand each for prototype and breadboard work), followed by two larger orders in July 2015 for prototype engineering and production prototype efforts ($111.7 thousand and $591.5 thousand respectively). All task orders carried firm fixed-price pricing and completion dates between August 2014 and January 2016.

Competition was limited. L3 Technologies, Inc. held dominance, capturing two orders representing $600 thousand — roughly 82 percent of combined potential value. Wilcox Industries Corp. received two orders totaling $120 thousand, and Steiner Optics, Inc. received one order for $8 thousand. All five orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designation). USSOCOM was the sole funding customer across all task orders.

Because the ordering period closed in 2019, pursuit of additional work under this vehicle is not viable. Contractors seeking USSOCOM RDT&E vehicles should identify successor IDIQs with open ordering windows, if any have been established since 2019.
