About this opportunity
United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is conducting market research and intends to solicit an Integrated Platform as a Service contract, with white paper responses due by November 5, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EDT. This is a Request for Information (RFI) for early acquisition planning; responses are not offers and will not form a binding contract or receive Government reimbursement.
The requirement spans four functional areas: a mission support platform and collaborative environments (PaaS) located within five miles line-of-sight of HQ USSOCOM at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, supporting approximately 225 personnel across classified and unclassified networks; an integration facility and system-of-systems interoperability test platform for PEO Tactical Information Systems programs; engineering support services including senior software, electrical, mechanical, and hardware engineers with classified eligibility; and cybersecurity Risk Management Framework support for Authorization to Operate achievement and maintenance per DoD, USSOCOM, and NIST guidance. The mission support platform must operate minimum 0700–1800 Monday–Friday with 24/7 facility access by exception for operational requirements, and provide dedicated access to Commercial, SOFNET-U, SOFNET-S, and classified networks. Personnel must hold classified-level clearances and access to COMSEC and Sensitive Compartmented Information. Performance occurs primarily at contractor facilities within the local commuting area of MacDill AFB, Florida, with CONUS and OCONUS travel anticipated.
Respondents must submit unclassified white papers (maximum 5 pages, 12-point Times New Roman or Calibri, single-spaced) to michael.j.cenedella.mil@socom.mil and carlos.j.espada.ctr@socom.mil addressing capability statements, alignment with the draft Performance Work Statement, information gaps, current facility clearance status with location and network confirmation, and value-added offerings. Cover letters must include company name, business address, CAGE code, Unique Entity Identifier, authorized points of contact, and available contract vehicles (Small Business 8(a), GSA Schedule, GWACs, etc.). USSOCOM reserves the right to pursue competitive or sole-source acquisition and may conduct follow-up discussions. No formal feedback or ranking will be provided to respondents.
