SOF Combat Diving Propulsion

The SOF Combat Diving Propulsion (SOF CD Propulsion) program is a Middle Tier Rapid Prototyping (MTRP) acquisition program operating under the Department of Defense's Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) pathway. The program appears to focus on Special Operations Forces combat diving capabilities, though specific technical requirements and operational objectives are not detailed in the available contract data. Based on the acquisition pathway designation, this program likely emphasizes rapid capability development and fielding of prototype solutions.

The program's recent contract awards range from $11,122 to $249,902, with performance periods typically spanning one to four months, with one notable exception extending to sixteen months. Contracts have been awarded by both Army Material Command and Air Force organizations, with work performed at locations including Travis Air Force Base in California. Awards frequently utilize Total Small Business set-asides and are predominantly structured as firm-fixed-price purchase orders or Blanket Purchase Agreement calls. The contracted items and services include specialized software (Palo Alto and JIRA), simulation training support equipment, breathing air systems, and medical training services. Notable contractors include small disadvantaged businesses like Wisecom Technologies Inc., R2C Technical Solutions (a service-disabled veteran-owned small business), and educational institutions such as Pima Community College.
