The Department of Defense (DoD), United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), has a continuing requirement for support services for the Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services (SOF GLSS) (formerly known as Special Operations Forces Supply Activity (SOFSA)).

The Special Operations Forces Supply Activity (SOFSA) is a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) industrial operation comprised of facilities and equipment in several locations headquartered in Lexington, KY. SOFSA is tasked to provide logistics support focused on SOF and SOF-peculiar equipment. Selected non-SOF work is accepted on a non-interference basis. SOFSA supports USSOCOM, its component commands, its subordinate elements, others of the Department of Defense and elements of other agencies that support USSOCOM missions.

The objective of this contract is to allow for mission critical systems integration and airframe modification and the procurement of products and service associated with operational requirements for the USSOCOM components and subordinate units.

• The objective of this contract is to provide rapid, world-wide response through comprehensive contractor logistics support. In concert with the Joint Publication 1-02, the contract scope is defined by the Joint definition of logistics: the science of planning and carrying out the movement and maintenance of forces. In its most comprehensive sense, those aspects of military operations which deal with:
  • Design and development, acquisition, storage, movement, distribution, maintenance, evacuation, and disposition of materiel;
  • Movement, evacuation of personnel;
  • Acquisition or construction, maintenance, operation, and disposition of facilities; and
  • Acquisition or furnishing of logistics services.

  This contract identifies the full range of logistics services required to meet SOCOM’s mission. Within the Core Competencies are 10 Key Capabilities essential to providing world class logistics support to our SOF Warfighters.

  Key Capabilites:

  • Aviation, Repair, Modification, and Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Support: A full range of aviation repair and modifications for both rotary and fixed wing aircraft is performed, including performance of post-maintenance functional check flights; other maintenance test flights; and flight operations support to include range and airfield management and facilities maintenance. Repair activities include avionics troubleshooting, corrosion control, structural repair and replacement, and aircraft strip and paint. Modification efforts range from single radio integrations to complete upgrades for communication, navigation, aircraft survivability, weapons, fuel, power plant, flight control, and aircraft management systems and may include micro-miniature repair. Technical advice and assistance for serviced equipment and associated end items to Government maintenance and operations personnel may be provided. Systems integration in support of this repair and modifications capabilities include 3D modeling, radio frequency spectrum analysis, vibration testing, non-destructive inspections, and finite element methodologies for structural analysis. The systems and equipment supported may be of foreign manufacture or may be out of production.
  • Storage and Distribution Services: Provides centralized agile global distribution services to the SOF community.  Supply chain management functions include the receipt, storage, inventory, kitting, disposal and shipping. Integrated with DOD Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) to initiate requisitions and respond to activities request for inventory.
  • Small Arms Weapons Mod/Repair/Support/Training: The capability to inspect, modify, support, and maintain, foreign and domestic weapons and associated accessories. The ability to provide maintenance and operational training on the modified or standard weapons. The equipment supported may be of domestic or foreign manufacture for either current out of production weapon systems. Weapon modifications include the installation of improved sighting systems or other accessories, adaptation of suppressors or other mechanical functions, and the improvement of the weapons accuracy or range.
  • Communications Equipment and Electronic Repair: This includes sustainment, maintenance, and modifications of service command and SOF peculiar Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) systems to include communication, computers, or other electronics integration on aircraft, ground and maritime platforms. This integration involves communications systems, radar, countermeasures, engine control, or any other electronic device needed on the particular end item.
  • Ground and Maritime Platform Repair, Modification, and Support: This includes the ability to repair, modify, fabricate, and support ground and maritime platforms and their associated systems. The capability to initially field equipment; to provide training; to provide technical advice and assistance for serviced equipment and associated end items to Government maintenance and operations personnel; to manage maintenance; to track performance and monitor sustainment requirements; to operate float stock and spares; to oversee configuration management; to prepare parts lists, special tool lists, maintenance allocation charts, maintenance work requirements, manuals, guides, and other required documentation; and to conduct repair and return functions, is also available.
  • Manufacturing and Production: PEO SOFSA in-house and deployable fabrication and production capabilities provide the support activity with the ability to meet rapidly changing schedules and customer requirements by minimizing potential delays from outsourcing production needs of fabricating parts, components, and assemblies for various supply classes. This includes the ability to fabricate and repair composite structures, high-hardness ballistic steel, and ceramic armor; to sew and repair fabric, including ballistic materials; and to manufacture or modify equipment and systems from both contractor-generated and Government-provided technical data and to manufacture prototypes.
  • Logistics Support Teams: Critical needs are supported with the ability to provide “SOFSA Forward Support” teams for deployment to CONUS and OCONUS locations. Temporary or enduring teams or individuals with specific skillsets and capabilities are available to support and/or augment SOF units worldwide, providing force multiplier and increased end strength to successfully meet the mission. Key functions of a Joint SOFSA support team include: 1.) SOF peculiar maintenance and support, 2.) Barebase and LogCap Support, 3.) Logistical Supply Support, and 4.) Expeditionary and Rapid Response. Teams may also be scaled or modified to meet the SOF users unique logistical support requirements for the operational mission(s).
  • Life Cycle Sustainment Management (LCSM) Services: LCSM services are required to ensure cradle-to-grave management of SOF assets and includes fundamentals such as supply operations, transportation activities, maintenance, disposal, reliability, maintainability, training, sustainability improvements, technology insertion opportunities, technical data management, and modification management. Training operations conducted at SOF or SOF-related training centers are included in LCSM. Non-SOF training operations may be approved by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO.)
  • Supply Chain Automation: The next contract is anticipated to continue to incorporate supply chain automation and the use of technology to handle supply chain tasks without direct human intervention. For example, the utilization of handheld scanners capable of performing functions normally processed manually or the addition of centralized document management that enables members to access important documents with ease.
  • Minor Construction: PEO SOFSA supports minor construction and renovation efforts to improve safety, security, operational effectiveness, and quality-of-life for PEO SOFSA and or its customer base. This activity is limited to DOD funding limits and thresholds established for minor construction.
