The U.S. Marine Corps awarded a multiple-award IDIQ contract to Bowhead Marine Support Services, LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned firm certified as an 8(a) small disadvantaged business, for operations, maintenance, and technical services at the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch located at Camp Pendleton, California. The $69.9 million contract has a completion date of September 16, 2031. Under this IDIQ, Bowhead has received several firm fixed price delivery orders to provide a range of services, including watercraft operation and maintenance, technical editing, data collection, communication equipment support, emergency medical treatment, and financial/administrative management. Many of these task orders were set aside for 8(a) competition. Bowhead, a subsidiary of UIC Government Services LLC, has leveraged its small business status and expertise in maritime support, vehicle maintenance, and professional services to secure these task orders from the Navy and Marine Corps. The original solicitation for this IDIQ was a competitive 8(a) set-aside, with proposals due in June 2021. The requirement, under NAICS code 541690 for other scientific and technical consulting services, sought a contractor to provide operations, maintenance, and technical services at the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch. This facility supports the Marine Corps' testing programs for amphibious vehicles like the Assault Amphibious Vehicle. By awarding this IDIQ to an 8(a) firm, the Marine Corps aims to leverage small business capabilities to sustain the readiness and capabilities of its amphibious vehicle testing operations.
