U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is preparing to release a large $750 million contract this month. The five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract will replace several sole-source contracts and thus increase competition.
The contract will focus on “Hardware Procurement & Modifications; Specialized Communication and Over the Horizon Networks, Signals Processing and Multimedia Product Support, and Systems Integration Support,” said the announcement posted on FedBizOpps. SOCOM also cites “a need for continuous increased capability and new technology insertion.”
