SOF Enterprise Professional Services (SEPS) II

Why This Matters

SEPS II is explicitly set aside for SDVOSBs under NAICS 541611 at HQ USSOCOM — one of the most coveted professional services vehicles in the SOF enterprise. This Sources Sought (RFI) is the pre-solicitation shaping moment where small businesses can directly influence scope, period of performance, and contract structure before the RFP drops. Responding now positions your firm as a known quantity to the CO and increases your odds of a favorable acquisition strategy.

Recommended Action

Draft and submit a capability statement directly to Adam Stern at adam.d.stern.civ@socom.mil this week — highlight SDVOSB status, past SOF/USSOCOM performance, and any NAICS 541611 work; include a specific ask for a 30-minute capability briefing before the RFI closes.

Risk Assessment

USSOCOM professional services vehicles historically favor incumbents with existing SOCOM command relationships and past performance on predecessor contracts like SEPS I — a firm without direct SOCOM footprint will struggle against entrenched competitors even in a set-aside pool. Additionally, if the eventual RFP requires a large task order ceiling response, smaller SDVOSBs (under 15 people) may face a credibility gap without a teaming arrangement in place.
