- Attachment Listing ”. The documents within this Table are intended to be included as the final attachments to what will be the Final RFP (projected for release on/about 18 March 2025).

Column D identifies the name of the particular attachment/section, followed by the most recent date of draft in Column F. Column G, ‘Included in Draft RFP,’ specifically references which draft documents have been provided as part of the Draft RFP.

Column H identifies which of these documents require Restricted Access.

Restricted Access (RA) Instructions:

The only way to initiate the verification process and gain explicit access to the controlled portion of Draft RFP documents is to request via this SAM.gov posting. Interested vendors need to ensure their SAM account has their current Cage Code and correct Vendor information attached to their profile. To gain RA to the controlled Draft RFP information, offerors must request RA to the document(s) within this SAM.gov posting AND submit their Cage Code to the Point of Contact (POC) below via email so USSOCOM Security can verify proof of a TOP SECRET Facility Clearance AND SECRET Level of Safeguarding. This precaution has been established to limit the dissemination of sensitive unclassified information, and proof of TOP SECRET Facility Clearance and SECRET Level of Safeguarding are required for this effort (REF SOW Section 4.1 and Section L.5). Under no circumstance will interested Prime Contractor Offerors be able to utilize a potential Sub-Contractor's Storage and/or Safeguarding capability as proof of Storage and/or Safeguarding capability.

NOTE: Prior to receipt of any Restricted Access documents, USSOCOM Security verifies TOP SECRET Facility Clearance AND SECRET Level of Safeguarding within the National Industrial Security System (NISS). If you believe information within the NISS to be incorrect or non-current, contact your Defense Counterintelligence Agency (DCSA) Field Office to resolve.

For specific questions regarding SAM use, profile updates, or DD 2345 processing, contact the Federal Service Desk at 866-606-8220 / https://fsd.gov/fsd-gov/home.do.

POC: Mr. Eric Carlin, eric.carlin@socom.mil

Specific Note: Verification can take up to 1 business day to process. Requests for RA received on a Friday after 1200 EDT will not begin verification until the next business day.
