GovTribe studied data from over 260,000 unique users and millions of interactions to uncover trending opportunities in the federal market heading into December 2025. Let’s start by diving into the top three.
TThe SOF Global Services Delivery (SOFGSD) Request for Proposal seeks to procure comprehensive professional services supporting United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) operations across education and training, management support, program management, engineering and technical services, professional services, and administrative services. The solicitation is a draft RFP in the pre-release phase, with an Industry Day scheduled for June 16-17, 2025, at SOFWERX in Tampa, Florida. Key requirements include that prime contractors must possess a Top Secret Facility Clearance, maintain an adequate accounting system, demonstrate a $2 million line of credit, and achieve a minimum Basic Confidence Level cybersecurity score of 110. Evaluation will be conducted using a Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) methodology, with offerors self-scoring across seven technical categories including total contract personnel positions, concurrent geographic performance, workforce transitions, labor category expertise, Statement of Work alignment, personnel retention, and past performance ratings from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Critical dates include a deadline of May 20, 2025, for submitting questions on the draft RFP, an Industry Day on June 16-17, 2025, final draft RFP comments due by the end of June 2025, and anticipated final RFP release in early July 2025, with proposal submission expected in early November 2025.
This solicitation is designated as a 100 percent small business set-aside with an anticipated 10-15 multiple awards to be issued as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. No incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation. The contract will support USSOCOM operations at multiple locations including MacDill Air Force Base, Fort Bragg, Hurlburt Field, Camp Lejeune, Coronado, and various Theater Special Operations Commands, with a primary performance location in Tampa, Florida, and potential global deployment. Contractor personnel must possess security clearances up to Top Secret with potential access to Sensitive Compartmented Information, and the initial contract includes a $2,500 firm fixed price for a post-award kick-off conference. The solicitation emphasizes three core service imperatives—Stability (mission continuity), Agility (dynamic workforce management), and Reach (global network capabilities)—with task orders to be competed either in a general pool or through three specialty pools for education, exercise support, and intelligence services. Offerors must submit up to five work samples from Department of Defense contracts performed within the last five years, with at least one Tier 1 work sample demonstrating prime contractor performance.
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hanscom Air Force Base is seeking Request for Information (RFI) responses regarding the Kessel Run PRIME (Platform, Resources, Infrastructure, Management, Engineering) contract to procure comprehensive IT services and mission-critical warfighting application support. The procurement focuses on three primary service areas: Application Platform capabilities, Infrastructure services, and End User Services, with the objective of developing operationally available and mission-capable applications that function 24/7/365 in highly contested environments. Qualified respondents must demonstrate expertise in CI/CD capabilities, virtualized storage and compute, Zero Trust networking, cybersecurity, ServiceNow workflow development, and IT service management across multiple security classifications (NIPR, SIPR, JWICS). Evaluation will be based on respondents' technical capability assessments, requirement clarity feedback, identification of potential conflicts or gaps, and demonstrated comparable contract experience from the past three years; respondents are explicitly prohibited from submitting solution proposals, pricing information, binding commitments, demonstrations, or marketing materials. The RFI response deadline is November 14, 2025, and responses must be submitted to Captain Kevin Rivera using the provided Excel response template and requirements documents.
This RFI is not a set-aside opportunity and does not designate any incumbent contractors. The solicitation targets companies classified under NAICS codes 541511 or 541512 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with a small business size standard of $34 million, and requires current GWAC or Multiple Award Contract holdings and verified accounting system audits. The government intends to award multiple outcome-based contracts for specific platform aspects rather than a single overarching integrator contract, indicating a modular procurement strategy aligned with agile acquisition principles. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the RFI documentation, as the primary objective is to collaboratively refine and validate requirements with industry partners before issuing formal solicitations. The RFI represents the government's commitment to maintaining pace with evolving technological and threat environments through industry collaboration on technical requirements, business capabilities, and potential concerns prior to formal contract competition.
The United States Marshals Service (USMS), an agency within the Department of Justice, issued a Request for Information (RFI) on October 3, 2025, regarding a potential requirement for Executive, Administrative, and Professional Support Services. This is a Special Notice for market research purposes and does not constitute a guarantee of future procurement. The USMS has not yet finalized decisions regarding set-asides or the definitive NAICS code, though the anticipated classification is 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) with a size standard of $24.5 million. The agency will not reimburse interested parties for any expenses incurred in responding to this RFI. All information presented remains subject to change and modification at the government's discretion.
The RFI seeks to gather market information on contractor capabilities to provide support across more than thirty professional disciplines, including program analysts, contract specialists, administrative assistants, intelligence analysts, project managers, and various specialized support roles. Respondents must submit a 15-page response by December 12, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST, with a question submission deadline of November 14, 2025, and published answers available by November 28, 2025. Submissions should address company background, experience managing large administrative services contracts, staffing capabilities, contract approaches, and existing contract vehicles. The anticipated contract will be a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under the GSA Professional Services Schedule covering approximately 300 or more positions (full-time and part-time) with a base period from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2028, plus four one-year option periods, requiring personnel to support USMS Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and satellite offices nationwide. Personnel must be fully vetted and capable of obtaining security clearances ranging from public trust to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS-SCI) levels, with the current incumbent being Mayvin, Inc.
