Hero 120 Support

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is seeking field engineering support for the HERO 120 Airborne Camera Sensor/Platform/Software systems through a Sources Sought notice. The contract will require a contractor to provide field engineering support for five days at Fort Irwin's National Training Center, focusing on system orientation, navigation, pre-flight procedures, and operational support for Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) operators. Key contractor responsibilities include ensuring system synchronization, providing technical guidance during flight operations, delivering an after-action report, and being available to answer technical questions from senior command teams. While this is a pre-solicitation notice and not a formal request for proposal, interested contractors are invited to demonstrate their capabilities for supporting these specialized technical requirements. The opportunity is classified under the NAICS category 541519 for Computer Related Services and PSC category U099 for Education/Training services.

The Sources Sought notice indicates no specific set-aside designations, meaning the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified contractors. Contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens, capable of effective English communication, and able to pass security screenings including NCIC III and terrorist database checks. The contract period is specifically from January 20-24, 2025, with contractors expected to provide their own engineering tools and materials while the government will furnish field support facilities and HERO system equipment. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The engagement requires one contractor to support a compact but intensive five-day period of technical field engineering support, with a requirement to submit a comprehensive after-action report within 10 business days of completing the assignment.
