- 2015 Needs List Request Form 2015 JSOC Capabilities and Technology Expo (JCTE) and Classified Technology Needs List SYNOPSIS: 2015 JSOC Capabilities and Technology Expo (JCTE) and Classified Technology Needs List JSOC has assembled a SECRET listing of approximately 100 Special Operations Force's (SOF) technology and capability needs. The list will be available for release to Industry, Academia, and National Labs in February 2015. JSOC will follow up the release of the Needs List with two events through two additional special notices: one, a Capability Needs Event to be held in McLean, VA on 29 and 30 April 2015 that will host up to 250 SECRET cleared Industry representatives each day to discuss this list of needs and potential opportunities to partner with industry to address them through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs); and two, a Capability Solutions Event to be held in October 2015 which will be a by invitation only event for selected Industry partners to present solutions to JSOC representatives. A. INTRODUCTION: This notice is NOT a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) mission is to conduct studies; training; exercises; research, development, testing, and evaluation; and acquisition and procurement to ensure interoperability among special operations forces (SOF), general purpose forces, and interagency and foreign partners. JSOC has assigned and attached subordinate units and may deploy to support Geographic Combatant Commander's training, exercises, activities, and operations. It is JSOC's desire to inform and influence industry's internal investment decisions in areas that address SOF's most sensitive and urgent needs. Many in industry have expertise, capacity, funding, and a desire to better understand and invest in SOF unique needs. Factors that make this unique collaboration opportunity attractive include: 1) Increasing Military Budget Austerity - SOF is a judicious transition partner whose future resourcing is the most well-preserved of the military Services. It is JSOC's desire to improve collaboration in an era where budget austerity tends to erect barriers to open communication. 2) Intellectual Property (IP) - The commercialization of dual-use (government/ commercial) technology can reduce costs to the government, but government contracting IP clauses often restrict industry's ability to capitalize on their own IP. Our proposed collaboration model preserves and protects industry's ownership of their intellectual property. B. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide Industry the ability to request the 2015 JSOC Capability Needs list in order to help focus industry research and development decisions toward JSOC's unique needs. The CRADA relationship provides industry a more intimate "hands on" collaborative relationship with users, combat developers and program planners with the goal of speeding transition of capability from the laboratory to the field. The CRADA also offers enhanced IP protection for industry. "Designated under the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-502) (which amended the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-480)), a CRADA is intended to speed the commercialization of technology, optimize resources, and protect the private company involved. A CRADA allows both parties to keep research results confidential for up to five years under the Freedom of Information Act." JSOC's Technology Needs listing includes multiple needs in each of the following functional areas: 1. Breaching 2. Communications 3. Electronic Warfare 4. Fire Support 5. Information Technology 6. Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance 7. Knowledge Management 8. Lighten the Load 9. Mobility 10. Scalable Effects Engagement/Non-Lethal 11. Power and Energy 12. Soldier Survival 13. Target Engagement 14. Visual Augmentation 15. Other Need Areas JSOC does NOT anticipate issuing Requests for Proposals and/or awarding contracts as a result of this Special Notice. Instead, JSOC aims to work towards collaborative agreements with selected Industry partners as they develop proprietary technologies for the market which address specific JSOC technology and capability needs. JSOC anticipates entering into approximately 5-25 CRADA's. Under each CRADA JSOC will provide: 1. A technical and programmatic POC 2. Copies of any testing conducted 3. A written JSOC Tech Assessment (JTA) summarizing our view of the technology and its potential to include candid non-attributable quotes from all assessors across the JSOC enterprise 4. JSOC's highest level sponsorship for participation in a SOCOM Technical Experimentation event to demonstrate the technology to participants from the SOF community at large to include MARSOC, USASOC, WARCOM, AFSOC and the SOCOM HQ 5. JSOC transition assistance C. REGISTRATION: In order to request the 2015 JSOC Capability and Technology Needs List, email the following information to osd.jcte@mail.mil: 1. Company Name 2. CAGE Code 3. Classified Mailing Address: both Inner and Outer labels including the Attn: line POC 4. Delivery Method: Pick Up (specify CD or Paper Hard Copy); via email on SIPR, JWICS, CWAN/GWAN; or via registered US mail (specify CD or Paper Hard Copy) NOTE: All requestors within a 75 mile radius of the Pentagon in Washington, DC who cannot receive the list via email will be required to pick up the list.

SPECIAL NOTICE: JSOC will utilize contractor consultant/advisors to assist with the distribution of the 2015 Capabilities and Technology Needs List. All advisors shall comply with procurement integrity laws and shall sign non-disclosure agreements.
