Support Services for Special Operations Aviation - Specialized Technical Services

The United States Special Operations Command's Technology Application Program Office (TAPO) has issued a Sources Sought Notice for Support Services for Special Operations Aviation - Specialized Technical Services - III, seeking professional analytical, technical, and logistic services to support the modernization, sustainment, and deployment of specialized aircraft and mission equipment for Army special operations. The procurement encompasses a broad scope of services including systems acquisition, integration, testing, logistics, unmanned systems, avionics, electronic warfare systems, mission planning, armament, and ground support equipment. Interested vendors must demonstrate capabilities in complex technical support services and submit a comprehensive 10-page statement of interest that includes detailed company profiles with business size designations, points of contact, DUNS number, CAGE code, and experience in similar technical support roles. A critical requirement includes submission of a DLA Joint Certification Program approved DD Form 2345. The deadline for responses is August 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT, providing contractors with a relatively short response window of approximately three weeks from the posting date.

This opportunity operates under NAICS Code 541330 (Engineering Services) with a small business size standard of $47.0 million, and no set-aside designation has been applied, meaning it is open to full and open competition among all qualified contractors regardless of business size. The solicitation emphasizes the need for vendors capable of supporting evolving Special Operations Aviation requirements through a flexible and adaptable approach, suggesting the contract will need to accommodate changing mission requirements and technological advances. While specific contract values or timelines are not disclosed in the sources sought notice, the substantial small business size standard of $47.0 million indicates this could potentially be a significant procurement opportunity. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors, as this appears to be a market research effort to identify qualified sources before formal solicitation. The emphasis on specialized technical services and the complex nature of special operations aviation support suggests this will be a technically demanding contract requiring demonstrated expertise in multiple specialized areas.
