USSOCOM Identity Intelligence Operations (I2O) Facility

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified sources for an Identity Intelligence Operations (I2O) Facility located within 15 miles of MacDill Air Force Base. The facility will support critical intelligence functions, including a forensic laboratory, software development capabilities, and a 24/7 data production floor to enable global Special Operations Forces intelligence operations. Key contract requirements include an approximately 11,000 square foot facility with a Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), multiple network environments, and infrastructure to support 145 personnel across four shifts. Potential contractors must submit an unclassified white paper by April 9, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST addressing their capabilities, readiness to meet draft Performance Work Statement requirements, facility clearance capacity, and additional relevant information. The white papers must follow specific formatting guidelines, including 12-point font and single spacing.

The solicitation is not designated with a specific set-aside, indicating it is open to a broad range of contractors. The facility must provide extensive technical infrastructure, including support for NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS networks, with 99.99% availability and capabilities for cloud services like SOFEX-S and DOMEX. While no specific award value is mentioned, the facility will require significant technical investments, including four SOCOM network servers, two closed Dirty Net servers, eight forensic lab benches, developer and examiner workstations, and video display walls. The contract will require comprehensive security management meeting Department of Defense and Defense Intelligence Agency standards, with 24/7/365 dedicated facility access. USSOCOM emphasizes that this RFI is for market research purposes only, and no formal feedback will be provided to respondents, suggesting a preliminary exploration of potential contractor capabilities for this complex intelligence support facility.
