The Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) has released a solicitation seeking industry solutions for the rapid development and integration of innovative capabilities to support its mission. This procurement, titled "AFSOC Innovation, Logistical, and Material Support OTA," is conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022 and aims to award a Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA). The primary objective is to foster the prototyping and transition of advanced technologies and logistical solutions that can enhance AFSOC’s operational effectiveness.
AFSOC is particularly interested in engaging non-traditional defense contractors, small businesses, and innovative commercial firms with the capacity to deliver rapid prototyping and integration. The scope of this effort encompasses research and development activities in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, excluding nanotechnology and biotechnology, as classified under NAICS code 541715. The expected outcomes include the successful demonstration of prototype solutions that may be considered for follow-on production, contingent upon the completion of the prototype phase and compliance with statutory requirements.
The solicitation allows for flexibility in award structure, with the government reserving the right to issue either a single or multiple OTAs based on the quality and suitability of proposed solutions. Notably, this procurement is not governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), except where specifically incorporated, offering a streamlined approach to contracting and encouraging innovative participation.
There are no set-aside requirements for this opportunity, making it open to all qualified entities. The place of performance is Hurlburt Field, Florida, a key location for AFSOC operations. The contracting entity responsible for this solicitation is FA4417 1 SOCONS, operating under the Department of the Air Force within the Department of Defense.
Interested parties should direct inquiries and responses to the designated contacts: Christina Smith ([email protected], 850-884-1250) and Shawn Edwards ([email protected], 850-884-1258). The solicitation remains active, with a response deadline set for February 17, 2026. Additional information, including attachments, can be accessed via the official SAM.gov opportunity page at https://sam.gov/opp/4c3d61f4a9564ea096bf4375509c6899/view.
Contractors evaluating this opportunity should note the emphasis on rapid prototyping, innovation, and the potential for follow-on production. The absence of FAR/DFARS constraints and set-aside requirements, combined with the focus on research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences, makes this solicitation particularly suitable for agile, forward-thinking organizations capable of delivering transformative solutions for special operations support.
