This acquisition is a follow on effort to the Special Operations Forces Requirements Analysis, Prototyping, Training, Operations and Rehearsal (SOF RAPTOR) contract originally awarded in 2001. The original SOF RAPTOR contract provided a vehicle for conducting training requirements analysis, concept exploration, and prototyping to support United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and USSOCOM Component Command simulator and simulation requirements. The effort to be contracted under SOF RAPTOR II will include similar type tasks to those performed under the original SOF RAPTOR contract. This effort will commence in the second quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. The effort will consist of a one year basic effort with options for four additional years, for a total of a five year period of performance.

The SOF RAPTOR II contract will support the objectives of USSOCOM programs and Component Commands by providing a contractual vehicle for conducting training requirements analysis, concept exploration, and prototyping. This effort to support USSOCOM and USSOCOM Component Command (United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM), and United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC)) simulator and simulation requirements to be contracted under Special Operations Forces Requirements Analysis, Prototyping, Training, Operations and Rehearsal (SOF RAPTOR) II will include similar type tasks to those performed under the original SOF RAPTOR contract, N61339-01-D-0722-0002.
