About this file
This file is an Amendment 001 Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for Solicitation M00264-25-Q-0057, a United States Marine Corps (USMC) procurement for a Social Networking Site (SNS) Tool. The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside for a Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) automated social networking capability designed to discover, report, and remove imposter social media accounts. The requirement includes two base user subscriptions with a monitored population of 120-300 key personnel, and potential for up to ten optional user licenses.
Key details include a Firm-Fixed-Price contract structure with one 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods. The tool's primary objectives are to protect USMC interests by automating social media account review, identifying potential malware, tracking emerging trends, and detecting threat agents attempting to gain followership. The Q&A document clarifies various technical and procedural questions about past performance references, user counts, and pricing submissions, while emphasizing that this is a recompete for a new subscription term rather than a supplement to the current service.
