Transcript for "Top 20 Unrestricted Opportunities for FY 2027": Welcome, and thank you for today... For attending today's webinar. Before we get started, I do wanna go over a few housekeeping notes with you, which you can see on the slide in front. For your browser, please make sure that you're using Google Chrome for the best experience. Audio is going to be streamed through your computer. There is no dial in, so ensure that your volume is turned up. You can download slides, via the resources tab to your right, and a recording will be emailed to you within twenty four hours of the conclusion of this webinar. You also can ask a question at any time by dropping it in the q and a box. I will do my best to try to get to some questions at the end of the webinar. If I don't get to your question, know that any unanswered questions will just be addressed with you offline, so I will get back to you either way. And with that, thank you for attending the top unrestricted federal opportunities for fiscal year 2027. My name is Ashley Sanderson, and I am a senior research manager here at Deltek working on GovWin, and I'll be discussing today's topics with you. Before I get into it, I do wanna do a shout out for the top 10 small business webinar that is happening next Tuesday, October 6, at the same time, 2PM, which is gonna be hosted by my colleague, Kathleen Sievers. This report today that we're going over are for the top 20 unrestricted, which are full and open competitions. She is focused specifically on competitions that are exclusive to small businesses and other small business socioeconomic category, for prime vendors. So, please make sure that you attend that as well. If you are listening to this, you will get just as much great information out of that. If you view this slide in presentation mode on your own personal computer, you can just click on the slide. It's hyperlinked to directly to your registration page. Our agenda for today, I'm going to go over briefly just some fiscal year twenty twenty seven developments that I see when putting the list together and looking back at what took place in fiscal year twenty twenty six. Then we're going to take a step back and continue to look at fiscal year twenty twenty six. I'm going to review where all of our past top 20 full and open opportunities are today. There are a lot of updates and changes that took place with that that list, maybe more than I've seen in quite some time. Then we'll go over the fiscal year twenty twenty seven, top 20 full and open opportunity list. And then we will finish out with a top opportunity spotlight. I wish I could talk about all 20 of the opportunities. However, we are limited on time, so I have selected 10 that I feel have a lot of interest, from industry and also should give a pretty good insight to the list overall by selecting those 10. And then like I said, if we have time, we'll do some q and a. If not, questions will be addressed offline. Also, you should know the scope in which we drew from this. So all of these opportunities are drawn from deltekgov win IQ's federal opportunity database. They have all been vetted by the Deltek analyst team. They are to be seen as bellwether opportunities for the coming fiscal year. So even if you see something that you aren't particularly, going to go out for, it gives you an idea of what the large major opportunities are, where this is going for the year. These opportunities are determined specifically by total expected contract value or whatever the anticipated ceiling value is. So our top opportunity in slot number one is the highest value opportunity and so forth down. They all have to have estimated solicitation dates within fiscal year twenty twenty seven. The opportunities used, as I said before, this is for full and open requirements. So all the competitions are assumed to be full and open. Some of them may have partially set aside in addition to the full and open. They would have some small business pools. You will also see on some of the slides in the spotlight that some of the competition types are are undetermined right now. We have full confidence that those will be full and open competitions. The undetermined factor is whether or not those will also include a partial small business set aside or not. A couple of reminders too before we get started. The Deltek RFP estimated dates are based on our analysis of the earliest potential RFP release date by the government. This is to ensure industry does not miss any procurement activity. So you should know as a result of that though, dates will frequently shift as the government solidifies its acquisition plans. Just because something is estimated to come out a particular time does not mean that that is going to hold. The assigned values may vary between published values, government estimates, and Deltek estimated values. For its estimated values, Deltek reports the highest possible contract value for any opportunity. So the way these are pulled together, we're getting the published value directly from the government or the government's giving a rough estimate, or Deltek analysts are frequently looking at past, contracts, looking at incumbents, past spending, and things like that to estimate what they think the value would be if the government is not providing any guidance there. And again to explain the highest possible contract value frequently for a lot of our architecture engineering and construction requirements, for example, you will see a ceiling value estimate from the government saying 5,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000. GovWin will use the 10,000,000,000 for the opportunity value. Lastly, the report is intended to be viewed in presentation mode when you download it. It's easier to read and also all the hyperlinks will will work. You'll see a lot of opportunity IDs as I'm going through the report, and you can click those. Those will take you directly to the opportunity report in our system. If you choose to not do that, you can also just enter that opportunity ID into the search box, and it will pull up the opportunity. Alright. So moving into fiscal year twenty twenty seven developments. What I'm seeing, contractors are at times facing a challenging market right now. Right? You're kind of being asked to move with speed and deliver while also being adaptable to all these changes that are being rolled out, contracts that are coming and going, and molding to new compliance demands that are coming out every day it seems. As consolidation is reducing prime opportunities, the competition is definitely getting more intense. A lot of contractors are turning to diversification as a method to stabilize themselves, have this long term viability. So looking at other agencies maybe that you haven't worked at before, or different kind of work that you could get into through teaming or subcontracting. And in that environment we've seen that compliance is definitely becoming an important part of being a competitive differentiator. It may have used to been sort of a... An afterthought, a back office, you know, thing to be compliant. But today, it seems to be something that's very, very important. We just, so I... I'm a a senior manager for... With with GovWind, but I specifically manage the army team, which, last year was handling the army maps, requirement that came out that is a massive consolidation of an IT services, professional services, pulling it all together. My point in bringing this up is MAPS was a huge compliance thing. There was a ton of things that you had to comply with before you could even get through the gate to get to the actual meat of submitting your proposal and showing your solution and whatnot. So it's definitely something people have to focus on. In addition to that, there is this ongoing initiative to move work that can be moved to GSA owned and operated vehicles. It continues to happen. There's several opportunities from the fiscal year twenty twenty six top op list that have, that could have potentially been on this fiscal year twenty twenty seven op list, but they were canceled in favor of, migrating network over to GSA Schedule, Oasis plus, Alliant, or just some other, IDIQ. For example, DHS Cyberdome, which was a pretty large $18,000,000,000, requirement just dissolved and, is going to be fulfilled by task orders through already established vehicles at this point. We also saw GSA Ascend, which was one that we were going to have on the list at one point, has been paused indefinitely due to evolving policy directives and reassessment of resource allocation based on the administration's priorities and the implementation of executive orders. So this means a shift in business development strategy. Contractors that are not already on one of these IDIQs that is taking up the work really need to hope for open enrollment on them, on ramps, pursue teaming relationships, which you'll see as we go several of the opportunities, spotlighting. A big factor in them is they are calling out. They fully intend to have on ramps as this this moves forward. So, those are your ways onto these things that you can't... That you might not be on right now. So these are sort of a broad look at what the list, looks like, and this doesn't look great at first glance. So the top value, or the overall value for the list is $306,000,000,000 for fiscal year twenty twenty seven, which looks like a very dramatic drop off from fiscal year twenty twenty six. But I assure you, it's not as dramatic as it looks at first blush. So you... We have we have a lot of data. We've been doing this report for a long time. You can see the the ups and downs of the market. You know, there are gonna be years where you're gonna have higher value opportunities, somewhere you have lower value opportunities, and that mainly is more a cyclical change. Sometimes there are large contract vehicles that are up for renewal and sometimes there are not, and that can affect how much money is showing up on these lists. Last year was an anomaly. We happen to have two opportunities on the list last year. CCN NextGen, which is out of veterans affairs. It's a gigantic veterans eligibility medical and dental contract and also GSA's OASIS plus. Those two opportunities, accounted for nearly half of the 800,000,000,000 so that we had last year on the list. So this drop to 306,000,000,000 looks quite dramatic. However, if you take away those two opportunities, it's more like only dropping about a $100,150,000,000,000 dollars, which is still a significant drop, but nothing like $400,000,000,000 in a drop. And also that drop makes sense with what we're seeing of all of this consolidation. There just aren't the same number of competition for prime, so you're gonna see a lower value overall for the list. We're seeing that defense opportunities are leading in highest overall value on our list. They also have the most opportunities on this list. This is a little bit different than in recent years past. I can generally say that defense tends to lead with the number of opportunities that we see on the list. But recently for the past few years, the civilian agencies have tend to lead in the highest overall values on the list. So this is a little bit of a shift. Not really surprising. We can see from budgets and and investments that, the administration is investing more in defense. You know, we have our conflict in Iran happening, and, it's not a surprise to see that there's more spending on defense this year. For industries, we see that professional services is leading in the highest overall value as well as the number of opportunities. Again, this is not a surprise. Professional services does tend to be the most popular industry because, by its own nature it's sort of a... It's a vague industry, right? It encompasses a lot of different aspects of work. So it normally is one of our top industries. Research and development is something that pops on and off as being a leading kind of industry on this list depending on the year, depending on the kind of opportunities. Sometimes there's a couple, sometimes there aren't many. It's not too much to read into. What I think is interesting on this list is that IT is so low. For industry, normally, IT is a much higher, more populous, industry on this list, but I do think it speaks again to the consolidation. IT is definitely one of the areas where we've seen consolidation really start to happen, and that's why you're seeing that there just aren't as many active new opportunities happening for IT. They're being, procured through other means. And finally, this is no surprise, recompetes, rule the list. They almost always do. These kinds of large contracts, large vehicles, almost always have incumbents and past service providers. Nothing really surprising here. New requirements, there are a few. They tend to be more in the architecture, engineering, and construction area. Okay. So now let's look back at fiscal year twenty twenty six. Like I said, there's a lot of changes that have taken place from the list last year. The first opportunity that I wanna talk about is, out of VA, so our Community Care Network Next Generation or CCN NextGen, who has... It already last year was on the list at a 196,000,000,000, which is quite large for a contracting opportunity, And now it has been moved up to 1,300,000,000,000. Now I will say, it's 1,000,000,000,000 for the medical network and 30,000,000,000 for the dental network. Since last year, that opportunity was broken into two separate opportunities. Last year, it was one, but the VA broke it into a medical specific opportunity and a dental specific opportunity. That's why there's two opportunities, two opportunity IDs there. Both have been moved to awarded status. What I wanna say about the value is it is gigantic, but you have to remember that that's a ceiling, in this situation. The scope of CCN NextGen had continued to morph and change over the year. They changed the contract structure several times before finally setting with the medical network and dental network structure. And, also, we assume that they are making room for contracts, that they anticipate to happen over this ten year span of duration. Previously, they repeatedly had to go in and raise their contract ceiling because veteran eligibility has only been increasing for usage on these contracts. So I assume that they have put the ceiling this high just to ensure that they do not need to go in and modify it any further. I do not think that they have any intention of actually spending a trillion dollars here. I think it's just to make sure they don't have to change anything. We also have OASIS. All of the OASIS Plus requirements are currently in post RFP status because GSA has reopened all six of the OASIS Plus solicitations on a continuous basis. They did that, in January. GSA is continuing to accept proposals and award new contracts. Reopening is part of phase two of the OASIS Plus program, which incorporated changes resulting from the far overhaul that took place. It significantly expanded the scope of the vehicle and created a lot more opportunity for companies to obtain an OASIS Plus contract. In spot number three, we have LOGCAP six, which I'm not gonna talk about because that's already on our fiscal year twenty twenty seven list. After that, we have the management and operation of Sandia National Laboratory. That is actually back in forecast pre RFP. So the agency intended to solicit one m and o recompete every other year. And due to the strain on resources both for the agency as well as potential vendors, in order to accomplish some current m and o contracts require an extension of one year or even up to ten years. They would max out at a twenty year term. In short, based on this schedule, the procurement for this opportunity will actually now not take place until 2036. So if you were interested in it, you got a long time, so you have to worry about that again. I was talking about MAPS. So MAPS was in our number five slot. Right now, that's in protest. We've pushed back our anticipated award into late q one of fiscal year twenty twenty seven. The protest had suggestions from the government accountability office, that they recommended to reopen the solicitation for bid proposals so that interested parties could submit proposals in teaming arrangements. That was one of the protests that was issued against MAPS that it wasn't clear about their teaming arrangement stuff. The army has yet to state what they are going to do. So right now, we're kind of just waiting to hear, what will happen. I assume that we will find out soon, though, because I believe the protest decisions were all due yesterday at the end of the fiscal year. So, hopefully, we find out soon what they're planning to do. In slot six, we had out of the Department of Defense the information analysis center's multiple award contract or IACMAC that is reappearing in our fiscal year twenty twenty seven list. After that, we have the management operation of the Savannah River site. That had an option for, the incumbent contract with Savannah River nuclear solution exercised on 08/10/2026. The contract is scheduled to expire on 09/30/2027. So right now, we are estimating an award to be issued on August 2027. In spot number eight, out of the air force, we had the Sentinel launch facilities design and construction. This is in the awarded phase now. It was quite an up and down this year. There were cost overruns. They had to revisit. They transformed the strategy of how they were doing this in February 2026. They restructured the program. I'm not gonna go too into it, but it's unlikely to change at this point. The awards have been issued, and it is it is moved into the awarded phase. The operations and maintenance of the NASA Federally Funded Research and Development Center at Jet Propulsion Laboratories is reappearing on our fiscal year twenty twenty seven list. And then number 10, the EPA's Superfund Remedial Acquisition Framework, is in the pre RFP phase. It was on our list last year. It, didn't make the list this year due to the value being too low. Our lowest opportunity this year is at $4,000,000,000. Wrapping up the second half of the fiscal year twenty twenty six list, we had Cyberdome, which I mentioned earlier. That is now in the expired archived phase because it has been disbanded and is being taken care of through, task orders on existing contracts. AFCAP six or the Air Force contracting augmentation program, that is appearing on our fiscal year twenty twenty seven list. The defense's advancing artificial intelligence multiple award contract, that has been expired and archived by us. This was a call that we personally made. So the draft solicitation for this was previously canceled, in July 2025 as the advancing artificial intelligence multiple work contract program was put on hold at that point. There has been absolutely no activity or movement on this since. And we have made the call that due to lack of activity, lack of communication, lack of any movement, and comparing it with, the size and the magnitude of this requirement. We believe that if this were to be active, it would have already made some movement. So, therefore, we have expired it out as we do not think this will end up going forward, at least not at this time in the future. After that, in slot number 14, it's an energy lab, the management operating contractor for Argonne National Laboratory. That is back in forecast, pre RFP because once again, this, MNO contract was extended by an additional five years. It is now set to expire in September 2031, according to a press release by the incumbent who is the University of Chicago that based on that extension, Deltek is projecting a follow on for a solicitation early fiscal year twenty thirty one. So, again, that's way back or way far out again. Then we have the, out of the air force, the intercontinental ballistic missile development operations and sustainment or IDOS. That is in post RFP. It's a little confusing. So IDOS ended up being split into two separate task orders, program execution, and systems engineering and integration. Both of those are in post RFP at this point. There also is a third effort, for IT and communications, which is already in sources sought, and then two others that ended up being through Oasis plus. But the the program execution and the systems engineering and integration are the the main ones that were split from Eidos, and those are both in post RFP. So that is what phase I'm putting it in. After that, we have the defenses, NGA next generation contract writing system. That is in the awarded phase. This is an intel agency, so we do know that it is awarded. We could not obtain any more details right now. We have submitted a FOIA request. So if you are watching that for award details, if we get a response to the FOIA, with the full award details, we will add it to the opportunity report. Next, we have an opportunity out of Navy, a design bid design bid build contract for, various locations in Hawaii. That is sitting in forecast pre RFP now. It is currently on hold, but still assumed to come out, but probably not in the near future. So we're estimating more of a fiscal year 2028, for this one right now so it is not reappearing on this year's list. The Department of State Worldwide Aviation Support Services is on our fiscal year twenty twenty seven list. And our last two opportunities, the... Have had some, value changes. Delight, out of the army, is still in the pre RFP phase, but did not make the list because the value last year was 9,900,000,000, and it dropped down to 3,500,000,000. Our take on that is just that the government decided to lower the value because if you look at the spending on Delight, it's just nowhere near, $9,000,000,000. So I think they dialed it back just because of lack of spending. And then the last opportunity we had last year, the joint joint warfighting cloud capability saw its value skyrocket. It increased from $9,000,000,000 to to 21,600,000,000. The period of performance was increased from five years to ten years, which affected it. Also, it was reimagined to be a cloud marketplace with three tiers and two competitions. So basically, they added a lot more to this, which is why we see the value balloon from, 9,000,000,000 to 21,000,000,000, but that is currently in the post RFP phase as well. So now we'll get a look at our top 20 for fiscal year twenty twenty seven. So I'm not going to spend much time on these two slides. These are just a quick reference list for you, if you need it. We have LOGCAP, IACMAC, and FFRDC, which we know are... Were on last year's list. The Veterans Affairs Medical Disability Examination Next Generation is, new on the list this year. We have AFCAP reappearing, WAS reappearing. We do have an Air Force Research Laboratory multiple award contract, making an appearance as well as the GSA PBS large construction IDQ is on this year's list. We have dips two out of the department of state as well as a design build capital projects construction manager program also out of department of state. That's our one through 10. And then for ranks 11 through 20, we have the army gen six human resources solution support, personnel life cycle support PLS. There is also a corresponding small business, HR, RMAS, I believe, which I believe is appearing on, the top 10 small business list if I'm not mistaken. We have the CISA strategic cyber tools, opportunity out of DHS. We have Earth two point o coming out of EPA. We have the Job Corps contingency operations IDIQ from Department of Labor. The department of defense has the TRICARE pharmacy program or TFARM six. We have the Guinea Mae master subservicer support services out of HUD. Defense has the military and family life counseling services contract coming up, and Justice has information technology support services six. And the last two are both army opportunities. We have a design bid, design bid build, construction requirement, METOC, and the US army's marketing and advertising program as well to wrap up the list. And now I'll go into spotlight, 10 opportunities that should give you a good understanding of, the list overall. So we're gonna start with LOGCAP. LOGCAP, has been around for a long time. This is LOGCAP six. I've been on army for a long time. I've seen a lot of LOGCAPs, come and go. It was on last year's list, but this year, it's coming with a pretty significant change that I have not seen for a LOGCAP procurement, in the past. It is going to work to consolidate other logistic contracts outside of the LOGCAP universe, with a new LOGCAP small business contract as well, coming along with it. But I'll get into that in a second. So this is our number one on our list for fiscal year twenty twenty seven. LOGCAP is one of the army's largest service contracts. We're estimating it to be about $82,000,000,000 for its ceiling. The LogCap scope of services falls within the core logistics functions, including deployment and distribution, supply, maintenance, logistics services, operational contract support, engineering, and health services. LOGCAP five was awarded in 2019 as a ten year IDIQ. If fully exercised, LOGCAP five would run through March 2030, which may make you think that we are early to think that this is gonna come out soon. But, if history predicts the future, we're not. Given the scale of Logcat six, protests are very likely. LOGCAP four and LOGCAP five both produced numerous protests, through GAO and the army, which really delayed their final awards. Both of those competitions took roughly two years from solicitation to actual awards. So it's not odd to see the army already getting started, with this to avoid a gap in service. Now deviating from historical LOGCAP procurements, the government stated that they have an intention to release a separate LOGCAP small business suite solicitation. So multiple awards, task order contracts will be awarded as, as a set aside for Northcom, CONUS small business requirements, and the LOGCAP six small business opportunity is being tracked under opportunity ID 267106. I'll say it one more time if you're trying to write this down. 267106. In addition to that, if you just go to the LOGCAP six opportunity report, we have a link in there to take you to the small business one if you're interested in looking at it. They have, the army has decided to set up the LOGCAP small business suite to replace other logistics contracts, a means of smoothing out rapid mobilization efforts. So this is not to be confused as, like, a small business version of LOGCAP. It's separate. It's being referred to as LOGCAP small business, but this is not... LOGCAP will still stay LOGCAP. This is an addition to that, taking stuff from other contracts. The officials really want large vendors to be able to focus on their major military moves and clarity on what to do when the service is in a time crunch. So I quote, the current separation of contracts like Eagle and LOGCAP create friction and a who does what dilemma during rapid mobilization. We need a seamless transition from the fort to the foxhole. And that's what officials stated in May 2026 in a presentation that was describing the army's plan. So, again, this is not to be seen as small business log cap. This is a different, version that is pulling contracts from other places like Eagle to hopefully make this a more seamless, situation. In addition to that, the other interesting thing of note, the contracting office released the LOGCAP six highest technically rated offer or HTRO matrix, that was in their RFI in May 2026. This is sort of signaling a shift towards establishing the most qualified prime contractors earlier on in the procurement process. The key feature under consideration with release with releasing this matrix is to evaluate technical capabilities of vendors. So also maybe lesson learns from some protests to try and speed things up, that they're issuing that matrix now. And on to our second opportunity, this is out of the Department of Defense, the information analysis center's multiple word contract, IAC MAC. This is gonna be an IDIQ contract that provides a wide range of mission mission critical research and development to hundreds of requiring activities throughout the DOD. Customers come from every service, combat and commands, DOD labs, and other defense and federal agencies. The scope of the IAC MAC is the only DOD contract established to specifically acquire customized research and development services across various highly specialized focus areas. It is the only DOD contract that mandates the investigation of existing scientific and technical information, and the reporting and sharing of that new information generated during performance of the task orders for others to use across the government. There was a sources sought notice issued recently on 09/24/2026. Questionnaires to that are due no later than 1PM on October 6, next Tuesday, the same day as the small business webinar that I hope everyone's registered for. The government anticipates to release the solicitation by the end of calendar year 2026. We have the competition type as undetermined right now. As I've mentioned, some of these we do. We safely do assume the full and open portion of the competition. But the previous competition also had a small business opportunity. Previously for IAC MAC, there were three pools. Pool one and two were for a whole bunch of technical focus areas like weapon systems, autonomous systems, advancing materials, military sensing, energetics, c four ISR, cybersecurity, software and data analysis, modeling and simulation, homeland security, weapons of mass destruction, biometrics, cultural studies, and CBRN non laboratory. There was a third pool that... Pool three is only for CBRN laboratories. But the point is, of the three pools, pool two was, specifically for small business concerns. So it's possible that that could also happen. So that's why right now it's listed as undetermined. Alright. Next, we have, out of NASA, the management and operations of the NASA federally funded research and development center at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The... I'm gonna refer to it by its acronym. The FFRDC has played a crucial role in some of the most historical and technically challenging missions, including the Mars presser vents rover, deep space network modernization, Earth science and climate monitoring, and the Europe Clipper and Syk missions. The required work calls for operations and maintenance of the FFRDC and to provide specialized independent and objective programmatic and institutional support to NASA. The project tasks will include autonomous deep space and earth orbiting spacecraft or major subsystems, experiments and instruments which may be carried as payload on spacecraft, ground based systems, advanced technology, research and development for current and future space mission... Missions, and NASA sponsored research and analysis programs that carry out a program of competed and peer reviewed research and development. Some of the operations and maintenance support staff positions are going to require security clearances, which may rise to top secret sensitive compartmentalized information level at times. Given... Here's where it gets tricky. Given the size and complexity of the requirements, it actually is pretty unlikely that this will act itself result in a competitive solicitation, which may make you wonder why it's even on this list, but I'll get to that. It is possible that there could be vendors who could demonstrate that they meet the necessary qualifications to perform perform the work that Caltech has performed for NASA since 1958. But if we're being honest, the likeliest scenario is that this ends up being sole sourced to the incumbent for the continuation of services. Like I said, there's a small possibility of a more competitive procurement process. And clients who are interested in this should be aware that there are subcontracting and teaming opportunities that emerge every year. Which this is why it's on the list. They are large subcontracting teaming opportunities. Some of them literally are their own gov win opportunity, report themselves. So just because you might not be able to unseat Caltech, does not mean that you cannot work on this contract or get, get onto this contract, through subcontracting and teaming. There is an industry engagement event that's been scheduled for October 21 through twenty third, but registration was due, by September 24. So, unfortunately, if you've not registered, I don't think you will be able to, but there is that event coming up in October. So as of right now, what they have for the tentative procurement schedule as it follows. So there's a draft RFP expected no earlier than January 2027, final RFP no earlier than April 2027, proposals no earlier than July 2027, and a contract award expected no earlier than January 2028, with the contract start in 10/01/2028. The RFI responses that were collected back in August 2026 are going to help determine whether a competitive procurement is really possible at all or whether it's in the government's best interest to just maintain with Caltech. So our next opportunity is out of the Air Force. We have the Air Force contract augmentation program or AFCAP six. It's expected to follow the framework of AFCAP five, providing worldwide contingency, humanitarian, and base support services. The key focus areas are going to be energy and contingency construction, logistics and supply support, base operations and life support, force augmentation, mission planning and execution, training and equipping forces, infrastructure management, and support for joint and multinational operations. AFCAP five was awarded in April 2020. It runs through May 2028 with options to, 2031. Its IDIQ structure allows, for task orders as needed to help provide this sort of rapid responses support that they're looking for for global and contingency missions. So so far, 95 task orders have been awarded under this contract. Of the 95 task orders awarded, 30 were for work CONUS, and 65 were for work OCONUS, including places like Japan, Jordan, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. And according to additional information shared, in May at an Air Force Enterprise contracting pathways event. The contract award is tentatively planned for May 2028 with performance expected to begin in October 2028, per the draft. The contracting office stated that at this time, although there may be a period between the award and start date, no gap in contract performance is expected. If a gap occurs, it would only affect the issuance of new task order awards during that time frame. So next up, we have the Department of State's Worldwide Aviation Support Services, which was on our list last year. This contract has experienced its scope changing over the years, and the Department of State Department of State, is looking for industry input into modern industry practices and also to be more cost effective methods, of meeting the requirements that they have. They would like to redefine the requirements and leverage a more modern innovation innovative, aviation practices through this. They currently own approximately a 112 aircraft that are in their inventory. They're deployed to sites worldwide in support of different missions or in maintenance storage or on loan to host, host nation programs. According to the sources sought that was released, they anticipate a total contract value range of approximately 5,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000 over the life of the resulting contract. However, it should be noted, of the current 10,000,000,000 ceiling, only 1,375,000,000 has been spent to date. So just because, again, the ceiling's there doesn't mean the spending is actually there. The main requirements that are to be contracted are operations and maintenance of rotary, and fixed wing government owned aircraft at sites around the world, aviation training of host nation personnel, continuous aviation safety programs, rotary and fixed wing small UAS, commercial air services, passenger and cargo movements, aircraft repositioning from heavy maintenance sites to deployment sites. The IDIQ contract is also going to have pools for large businesses and small businesses. So vendors are gonna compete for task orders within their respective pool. What's a little different about what we normally see with pools here is the government will decide based on the complexity of the requirement which pool each category will be competed amongst. So both large and small businesses could be able to perform functions in three of the four categories. I feel like, normally, we see situations where, a small business is sort of siphoned off to only one category, specifically, but this sounds like it's gonna be dealt with a little bit differently that it's gonna depend specifically on the requirements. So large and small businesses can be intermixed in in all these different categories that they have. The categories are site aviation programs, special missions, and aviation maintenance, and commercial air services are the three categories. Category d is not gonna be open to small business. That's UAS and counter UAS. Next, we have out of the air force, the air force research laboratory multiple award contract IDIQ. AMAC is intended to serve as the AFRL wide contract vehicle for science and technology requirements, providing a standardized acquisition approach across the laboratory. The vehicle is designed to improve contract management, including increased efficiency, lower acquisition cost, standardized processes, preserve small business access, and broader competition through multiple awards. Interestingly, this opportunity has already been, protested four times. It was solicited in January 2026. This is the second, so they went back and they're going to reissue a solicitation. All four of those protests, though, were dismissed. But, yeah, the the original solicitation was canceled. The cancellation notice stated stated that the government intended to reassess its requirements and acquisition strategy. So for the draft, they added a new area of interest focused on basic research research technologies, introduced dozens of additional technical areas across the existing airspace, cyberspace, electronic warfare, and cross domain areas of interest, and added new CMMC related language. Vendors should expect the next solicitation to differ quite dramatically from the canceled January 2026 version. The May 2026 draft heightened the level of detail substantially. It brought in the scope and technical, detail suggests that the AFRL sought to better define and communicate requirements to industry. There is also a chance for on ramping specifically with this. According to the draft, the government may reopen competition during the contract period to add awardees. On ramping opportunities will be evaluated using the initial source selection process with criteria adjusted as as needed to reflect the mission and technology changes. Existing awardees will not have to recompete. New awardees may compete for future orders, but their ordering period will not be extended beyond what the original order... Ordering period was, prior to the on ramping happening. So Deltek is projecting a q one fiscal year twenty seven solicitation and a June award. That schedule may be optimistic, given the reassessment of the requirement, the enterprise wide scope, and the lack of recent acquisition updates. It's been a little quiet, so we may end up pushing that out in the near future. Also, something of note, I feel like a lot of these requirements have security clearances as part of the vetting to get in. Offerors do not need to possess a security clearance for an award under the AMAC. All delivery orders and task orders on the contract will be unclassified, so security requirements will be addressed at the program level pending if there's a specific requirement that we need it. Alright. DIPS two, the diplomatic platform support support services. This is from the Department of State. This is an IDIQ that's gonna provide a full range of services for program management, construction, life support, logistics and supplies, medical and emergency operations, maintenance, and security support services to US Department of State and other US government agencies under the chief of mission authority. And under special circumstances, non chief of mission activities across the globe. Department of state is anticipating a large portion of this contract to focus on locations in The Middle East and South Central Asia. However, places of performance will, you know, not be limited to any one region of the world. It's just what they're assuming. Another thing to note with this is that real life scenarios drive the scope of work under this requirement, which can have a big impact in in spending. You can see that in the spending analysis right there. There's only been 2,500,000,000 spent to date, versus the 8,500,000,000, ceiling as of September. So if there is a strong need for work, you'll see a lot of spending happen. If there isn't, it will go back down. Another thing to note is there have been some changes from the previous procurement. So if you're involved in the first version of DIPS, they only had five service categories. DIPS two has expanded its scope. There are seven capability areas now. They are program management, construction, life support, logistics and supplies, medical and emergency, operations and maintenance, and security support. Also, small business considerations. So how could a small business potentially participate in this acquisition? According to the sources sought, the Department of State is welcoming the participate... Participation of qualified joint ventures and also encourages teaming to ensure an effective solution. Small businesses that are in or are considering joint ventures are encouraged to respond to the sources sought. So, again, like we talked about earlier, you know, we've seen on ramp now a couple times and, also just the encouragement too for small businesses to look into teaming and joint ventures, even specifically the contracting office is calling this out as a way to to get involved in these. Alright. And we are running close to the clock, so I'm gonna move a little quickly through our last, three opportunities that we have. So next up, out of the army, we have the Gen six human resources solutions support personnel life cycle support or PLS. HR solutions is a chartered army project office aligned under the capability program executive enterprise software and services. HR solutions provides a strategic source for centrally managed full life cycle acquisition support, for enterprise level HR services for the DOD as well as other, federal agencies. Specifically, personal life... Personnel life cycle support. So the contractor is going to provide support to all facets of the personnel management life cycle. This means, they will man the force. They will provide HR services. They will coordinate personnel support and conduct HR planning under this contract. This RFP was actually originally expected to hit the streets in August, and then September, and now we're estimating sometime in November. However, this does not mean that there's an issue with the actual requirements. We spoke to the government, and, it's not sure exactly the time frame, so bear that November estimate, with a little a little bit of salt. But the office itself is dealing with internal transitions and a scheduled rollout of a new contract writing system. And due to those issues specifically, they're having trouble, meeting time frames for releasing the RFP on time. So it's nothing to do with the actual procurement. It's just in our office workings that is delaying a little bit. This opportunity also has the potential again for on ramping. They plan to periodically during the performance of this contract assess the vendor pool makeup and determine if they need on ramping of new vendors to ensure more viability of the program. It means they may issue a new solicitation to award additional contracts under this matoc. They also stated that the solicitation may be issued as a full and open competition or as a small business set aside depending on what they decide. The on ramp that is not the actual contract. So the military and family life counseling services that's out of the Department of Defense. The purpose of this requirement is to provide the MFLC program with confidential counseling, consultation, outreach, and program management services that support the readiness, resilience, and well-being, of eligible military service members, their families, and survivors. This program of note is for and funded by DOD. It is being procured through GSA. So if you are looking at this, all of the contracting documents are being issued by GSA, but it is it is for... The defense is the end user of this and is paying for it. Another thing to note for counselors here is that the government anticipates that contractor personnel may require a security clearance, at the secret and top c... Secret clearance levels. It depends on the worksite. So, different worksites may require you different secret clearances or various levels of secret clearance to even be present there. So that's something to note. In addition, the prime contractor themselves is going to be required to possess a top secret facility clearance level. This contract also is gonna have two, quote, unquote, footprints is how the government is referring to it. So it will have an Eastern geographic footprint and a Western geographic footprint. The Eastern side will have a one six month base period and then four one year option periods and two one year awarded awarded term incentive periods, which gives them a total period of performance of six years and six months. The Western footprint will have a twelve month base period for one year option periods to one year award term incentive periods for a total period of performance of seven years. So only a six months difference, and to be honest with you, I'm not sure why that is the case, but that is the case. Something to be aware of. The solicitation is anticipated to be released in the first week of January twenty twenty seven with an award anticipated in early q four of twenty twenty seven. There is also... Of note, there is an industry day anticipated for this requirement the week of 11/15/2026. So if you are interested in this requirement or going out for it, that is something to be aware of and keep an eye out for. And now we're at our last opportunity of the 10 I'm going to talk about. So wrapping it up, we have the design bid, design bid, build, USA's SPD programmatic acquisition for regional construction requirements and, requirements MATOCs. This is a new requirement. There is no incumbent. This is a department of the army, army corps of engineers, Sacramento district requirement. It's a multiple award task order contract to support regional vertical and select horizontal, design bid and design bid build construction projects throughout the South Pacific Division area of responsibility. When they talk about vertical construction, what they're referring to is new construction, additions, renovations, repairs, or demolition of buildings and supporting systems. When they talk about horizontal construction, they mean roads, utilities, levies, rail closures, waterfront improvements, and related infrastructure. The contracting office stated that it anticipates releasing a solicitation specifically for this... What this slide is about, the unrestricted MATOC in q one of fiscal year twenty twenty seven. In addition, if you are a small business watching this and you do AUC and this is sparking your interest, there is also an opportunity for some small business matox. So this particular unrestricted one, right, coming out in q one. There will be a separate solicitation for the rest of the requirements. The first is a solicitation for... Sorry. I lost my notes. The... So each South Pacific Division district is going to have its own small business METOC with these requirements. So the Sacramento District has planned to issue its solicitation. Well, okay. It said it would issue its solicitation in late September twenty twenty six, and it's October 1, and the solicitation still hasn't come out. So we anticipate it to happen very soon, but it has not happened as of 02:58PM, on October 1. If you are interested in that opportunity, just like with the LOGCAP situation, if you go to this opportunity right here, it will link you to it. However, if you are taking notes and you would like the opportunity ID for the small business portion of this, it is opportunity ID 268187. 268187 is the small business opportunity ID for this. Alright. And I've got about a minute, left. I'm gonna do one question that I saw come in, that I thought was a great question, especially because it's been recently on my mind because of what we're doing. So there was a question that asked, is Deltek thinking about adding, the many OTA consortiums within their DOD space? And currently, according to our OTA team, we have added the Go Colosseum, consortia to our database. I believe that it's directing relevant notices to, that opportunity opportunity report. But as I was saying, we actually have a OTA team, that has a plethora of information on the consortias and OTAs and how it all works. And I know that it can be very confusing even to, myself at times. So they maintain not within the database, but there is actually under our federal market analysis area on our website, there is a consortia OTAs place where you can go where they have, put together a table that links to... I think there's about 15 consortia pulling in there right now where you can see, active, OTAs that are open and and up for responses, ones that are closed, ones that have been awarded, and it's just a really great resource for OTAs and, consortia information. And I am running over now, so I am going to... I will address all other questions, offline. I will get back to you. Before I let you go, though, I wanna bring up one thing that's really exciting, gov win proposals. Everything we just walked through, the top opportunities for 2027, only matters if your team can turn that intel into a competitive proposal. Right? And that's where gov win proposals comes in. Deltek's proposals, which is coming soon, our new module that connects the same twenty plus years of analyst backed intelligence you rely on for pipeline directly into your proposal process. So your BD research, SME input, and vetted intel don't live in separate places. That means your writers start on day one on strategy instead of setup, and your team can pursue more of the good fit opportunities you're already finding instead of leaving them on the table because you don't have the capacity to chase all of them. And if that sounds like something worth exploring, you can click yes on the poll that you should be seeing now, that we're going to launch. And I will give you guys a few seconds to respond. And while you guys are responding to that poll, I do wanna sincerely thank all of you for attending today. I hope you took away, some nuggets of information. Please also take time to attend our top opportunities for small businesses with Kathleen Sievers. That is taking place on October 6 at 02:00PM next Tuesday. Also, just a final reminder that you will receive an on demand recording of today's webinar via email within twenty four hours after this webinar is concluded. And with that, I would like to thank you for joining us today, and please visit deltek.com for more upcoming Deltek events.
