Key Exhibitor Dates

SAM.gov published and website open for technology submissions
30 October 2026
1st Tranche deadline for exhibitor application (this deadline is to fill 80% of the range)
30 January 2027
2nd Tranche (final) deadline for exhibitor application (this deadline is to facilitate technology discovery at SHOT Show and will fill the remainder of the range)
U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) invites technology demonstration candidates in five broad categories: 1. Weapons, 2. Visual Augmentation Systems, 3. Demolitions/Breaching, 4. Ammunition, and 5. Other Relevant Disruptive Technologies from private industry, government Research and Development (R&D) organizations/labs, academia, and individuals to submit an “exhibitor application” with their innovative lethal technology.
If accepted, the technology(ies) will demonstrate to an invite-only audience of attendees. The attendees are Special Operations Forces (SOF) end users, SOF component combat developers, government technical engineers, contracting officers, the USSOCOM program office, SOF Partners from 30+ countries, all federal law enforcement special units, inter-agency special units, federal Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) agencies, and combat developers from the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
The attendees will use ISOF Range 2027 to conduct “hands-on” market research of technology to address lethality gaps and inform future requirements. To inform those requirements, attendees will participate in the BLAST survey tool that provides written direct input to government combat developers and exhibiting industry partners.

1ST TRANCHE DEADLINE
30 October 2026
2ND TRANCHE DEADLINE
30 January 2027
EXHIBIT YOUR TECHNOLOGY
All Exhibitors must apply to the range by submitting an application on the technology(ies) that they want to bring to ISOF Range.
- The submitted application will need to list any firearms with calibers that will be brought to the range, as well as any UAS, UGV, and lasers.
Exhibitors may request to be on the Firing Line (live fire) or in Exhibitor Alley, but USSOCOM will ultimately choose their final event location.
- The Firing Line is the only area where live fire can take place.
- Please note that an Exhibitor Alley position does not allow live fire.
WHAT YOU GET
- The cost (Exhibitor Participation Fee) for a 10’x10’ space at ISOF Range 2027 is $3,495.00.
- Each Exhibitor gets a 10'x10' space with their Exhibitor Participation Fee and one free page in the Event Program that includes their logo, company name, POC information, and a list of the technologies that have been invited to come to ISOF Range.
- There will be a Non-Lethal Drone Zone where companies may schedule times to operate their pre-approved UAS/UGV.
- Additional costs may include tent package rentals, tables, chairs, electricity, lighting, signage, advertising in the Event Program, sponsorships, extra space at your position, etc.
- If an exhibitor wants a space at both Firing Line and Exhibitor Alley locations, or a space larger than 10'x10', these requests must be approved. If approved, these will require an additional cost.
Important Information
- Every person who attends ISOF Range must fill out a form to have a background check with the range authority done prior to accessing the event. There will be no exceptions. We recommend that exhibitors add extra personnel, to include all potential backups, in case anyone from their primary team can’t make it. No one can be added after the deadlines.
- All UAS, UGV, and lasers must be pre-approved before they are permitted to operate at ISOF Range.
- A Sensitive Equipment List must be submitted by every exhibitor that includes all technologies that will be brought to the range: firearms, suppressors, ammo, radios, explosives, any electronics that can send or receive a signal, UASs, lasers, UGVs, visual augmentations/optics, computers, knives with a greater than 3" blade, and any imaging devices.
Food and Concession sponsorships available. Details will be coming soon.
