Quick Summary
Kentro, on behalf of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the General Services Administration (GSA), is hosting an Information Technology (IT) Roadshow in Tampa, FL, from April 21-23, 2026. This event is a technology exchange, not a procurement, designed for industry partners to showcase emerging IT capabilities to government technology leaders. Applications for presentation slots are due by April 15, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This Special Notice solicits presentations from Industry Partners (IPs) to demonstrate IT capabilities that can bring value to the Government. The roadshow aims to facilitate direct engagement between industry innovators and decision-makers from USSOCOM, GSA, and potentially the Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Navy. The focus is on product/solution demonstrations rather than static presentations, with an emphasis on how products can be used in unique SOF environments.
Key Focus Areas
The government is particularly interested in solutions addressing three priority challenge areas:
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for Network Operations
- Power Generation/Storage/Management
- Secure High-Throughput Data Transmission
Capabilities are also sought across various domains, including Advanced Energy Systems, AI/Machine Learning, Data Science, Edge Computing, IoT, IT, Robotics/Autonomous Systems, SOF Operations, and Virtual Reality.
Event & Application Details
Nine 30-minute presentation slots will be available daily, filled on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to government review and approval. To request a slot, interested companies must email KentroRoadShowTampa@Kentro.us with company details, a point of contact, and a focused marketing attachment describing their specific IT solution. General company overviews are not sufficient. Presentations should include an architectural breakdown, identified risks/constraints, analysis of intended effects, market research/performance data, and a technology development roadmap. A white paper may be submitted for future or hypothetical technologies.
