USSOCOM Wide Mission Support (SWMS)

United States Special Operations Command awarded the USSOCOM Wide Mission Support Master IDIQ on January 8, 2015, with a combined $900 million shared ceiling and ordering authority that ended August 27, 2020—the vehicle is no longer active for new task orders. The successor vehicle, Special Operations Forces Core Support, was awarded May 1, 2020. This IDIQ replaced the USSOCOM Global Battlestaff and Program Support vehicle that concluded in FY 2015.

A total of 511 task orders were placed under SWMS through March 2021, with combined potential value of $1.33 billion and $1.12 billion obligated (84% of potential). The vehicle saw strong annual ordering momentum through 2019 (106 to 116 orders per year), declining to 84 orders in 2020 and 15 in 2021 as the ordering window closed and effort migrated to the successor vehicle. Task orders span manpower augmentation, language instruction, training delivery, exercise support, advisory and subject-matter-expert services, cyber analytics, and regional security cooperation. Awarded orders show heavy emphasis on labor-hour and firm-fixed-price instruction support for MARSOC, special operations training centers, and joint task forces, alongside larger strategic support contracts in cyber, intelligence analysis, and counterterrorism planning.

The prime contractor base is moderately concentrated. Metis Solutions and Yorktown Systems Group lead by order count (138 and 127 orders, respectively), while Booz Allen Hamilton dominates by potential value at $345.6 million across 11 orders. The top five primes by potential value—Booz Allen Hamilton, Yorktown Systems Group, Caci-Wgi, Itility, and Amentum Technology—hold approximately 65 percent of combined potential value. Approximately 77 percent of orders went to the top five primes by order count. The remaining 39 contractors hold the long tail, with small business primes capturing 81 orders (16 percent) marked as total small-business set-aside, while the remaining 430 orders (84 percent) were unrestricted.

Ordering was dominated by United States Special Operations Command, which funded 431 of 511 orders worth $956.6 million in combined potential value (roughly 71 percent). Secondary customers—Air Mobility Command ($117.3 million across 23 orders), the Air Force ($118 million across 9 orders), and the Marine Corps ($22 million across 28 orders)—placed the remaining work. Task orders typically ranged from under $100,000 for small training events and role-player support to multi-million-dollar, multi-year contracts; several large awards exceeded $30 million in ceiling value, including a $32.75 million counter-WMD support order and a $91.3 million senior military engagement program award. Most orders performed work at domestic special operations installations and training centers, with some advisory effort deployed to regional command locations overseas.

The SOCOM Wide Mission Support Master IDIQ is intended as a replacement of the Global Battlestaff and Program Support (GBPS) Master IDIQ, which completed in FY-2015.
