Marine Corps Cyber Training

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on December 8, 2016, to procure cybersecurity training for military personnel and civilians across Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific, Marine Corps Forces Cyber Command, and Fleet Cyber Command. Ordering closed on December 6, 2021, and is no longer active.

The vehicle is expired and unsuitable for pursuit. No new task orders have been placed since December 2021—more than four years ago. The combined potential value of $17.2 million has been nearly fully obligated at $16 million (93%), leaving minimal remaining capacity. All 16 awarded task orders have completed or expired, with the most recent performance period ending in December 2022.

Scope centered on firm-fixed-price delivery orders for cyber training courses, ranging from small base-period awards through multi-million-dollar option periods. Recent representative orders included a $2.99 million cyber training order to support Marine Corps option-period requirements (awarded September 2021), a $3.87 million base order for Marine Corps cyber training (September 2020), and a $3.68 million order for cyber training courses (August 2019). Order values typically fell in the $1.6 million to $3.9 million range for larger periods, with smaller base-period awards below $400 thousand.

Ultimate Knowledge LLC dominated the vehicle, holding 11 of 16 task orders valued at $16.9 million combined potential value—roughly 98% of the total vehicle value. Onyx Consulting Services, LLC held 3 orders worth $319 thousand. Two other small firms (Executive Protection Systems LLC and Csrgroup LLC) each held single orders with zero potential value. Eighty-one percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation; 19 percent were small-business set-asides.

Demand originated primarily within the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (10 orders, $8.8 million), followed by the United States Marine Corps (5 orders, $5.4 million) and the Department of the Navy broadly (1 order, $3 million). Place of performance was not specified in the available task-order descriptions.

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) , Program Executive Offices, Marine Corps Forces Cyber Command (MARFORCYBER) Command, and Fleet Cyber Command (FCC) requires the training of military personnel and civilians, so they are properly certified and skilled on Cybersecurity.
