I am looking for others’ recommendations for the best Spec Fic stories centered around covert organizations and their dealings/activities. Intelligence agencies, special units, black operations, etc.
Some examples that spring to mind are Special Circumstances from The Culture series and Section 8 from Star Trek.

Okay I found this link: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/136847.Sci_Fi_Fantasy_Spy_Books_Novels
and from it, I know a few people who really praise the Vorkosigan Saga, so maybe that's an option?

I have heard of that series but never read any of the books. I will definitely check that out though! Thanks!

I don't think I've read any sci-fi books like this, but it sounds like an interesting premise!

Right? It is something I would like to see more of!

I know spy books and movies are pretty popular but in a sci-fi setting that'd be a bit new to me. Now I want it too hahaha

You might like Laundry Files by Charles Stross. It's focused around a secret government agency that deals with eldritch horrors (and tries to keep the public from finding out about magic).

That sounds like it could be interesting and I have heard good things about the author. I will check that out! Thanks!
