Special Operations Command opens the bidding for $10B logistics recompete

Special Operations Command has opened the window for industry to start working on and turning in proposals for the 12-year, $10.5 billion recompete of a contract covering logistics and sustainment support services around the world.

The Special Operations Forces Global Logistics Support Services II contract also supports SOCOM’s component commands, subordinate elements, other Defense Department organizations and elements of other agencies connected to SOCOM missions.

Bids for the SOF GLSS 2 competition are due no later than 2 p.m. Eastern time on Nov. 21, SOCOM said in a Monday notice to release the final solicitation.

SOCOM uses the contract to acquire logistical support services across these three core competency areas:

• Streamlined design and rapid prototyping

The command’s Program Executive Office Special Operations Forces Support Activity also conducts supply chain management and maintenance for systems and equipment under the contract.

Lockheed Martin has won both predecessors of the SOF GLSS program, including the current iteration with a 10-year performance period that expires in August 2027. SOCOM has obligated approximately $6.1 billion in task order spend against the current contract to-date, according to GovTribe data.
