About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Contract issued by the Department of War's Special Operations Command North (SOCNORTH) on 29 January 2026. SOCNORTH intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. under solicitation number H9229526QE006 to provide comprehensive logistical and operational support for Exercise AE26 in Kotzebue, Alaska. The required services include provision and management of target buildings, team houses, vehicles, lodging, snowmachines, local guides, access to a hatchery, support cabins, and all necessary fuel. The contract falls under NAICS code 561499 (All Other Business Support Services) and is being awarded as a single source action under FAR 13.106-1 authority.
The Government determined that NANA is the only source capable of meeting the full requirement due to its comprehensive inventory of specialized equipment and services available during the required performance period, as well as its established physical presence and logistical infrastructure in the Kotzebue area. Awarding to multiple vendors would create unacceptable integration risk and logistical complexity. Interested parties believing they can meet the Government's complete requirement are invited to submit a detailed capability statement via email to Contracting Officer Ashton G. Smith at ashton.g.smith.mil@socom.mil by 02 February 2026 at 0900 Mountain Standard Time. The capability statement must provide clear and convincing evidence of the ability to provide all equipment, facilities, and services as described. The Government reserves the sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.

Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Contract
Action: Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Contract for Kotzebue Support Services Solicitation Number: H9229526QE006 Agency: Special Operations Command North (SOCNORTH) NAICS Code: 561499 All Other Business Support Services
1.0 Description of Action
SOCNORTH intends to award a firm-fixed-price, single source contract to NANA Regional Corporation, INC to provide leased arctic equipment, logistical support, and maintenance services. This action is conducted under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1, "Only one source reasonably available."
2.0 Description of Requirement
The Government requires a contractor to provide comprehensive logistical and operational support in Kotzebue, AK, for Exercise AE26. Required services and assets shall include, but are not limited to, the provision and management of target buildings, team houses, vehicles, lodging, snowmachines, local guides, access to a hatchery, support cabins, and all necessary fuel.
3.0 Justification for Sole Source
Market research indicates that NANA is the only source with the existing inventory, logistical infrastructure, and capability to meet the Government’s full requirement. The determination is based on the following unique capabilities:
• Comprehensive Inventory: The vendor is the only identified source that possesses the entire range and quantity of required specialized servies available during the required Period of Performance. Awarding to another source would necessitate multiple awards to various vendors, creating unacceptable integration risk and logistical complexity for the end-user.
• Immediate Services and Logistical Capabilities: The proposed vendor has a demonstrated physical presence and established support network within the immediate vicinity of the training areas, enabling them to satisfy this critical requirement.
4.0 Instructions to Interested Parties
This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources who believe they can meet the Government's complete requirement are encouraged to submit a detailed capability statement.
The capability statement must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer at ashton.g.smith.mil@socom.mil by no later than 02 February 2026 at 0900 Mountain Standard Time.
The statement must provide clear and convincing evidence that the interested party has the ability to provide all equipment, facilities, and services as described in Section 2.0.
A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
