2.3 How the Marine Corps Intends to Use This Information.

The Marine Corps is conducting market research pursuant to FAR Part 10. The Government may use the information obtained through this RFI to inform the Government on identifying potential sources having an interest and industry available to meet the Marine Corps requirements for Training Analysis and Evaluation Products or any other lawful purpose pertaining to the prospective acquisition of training capabilities. Respondents are solely responsible for specifying any restrictions on the disclosure and use of data submitted with their response. Moreover, Respondents must identify any data that must not be disclosed outside the Government and/or that must not be duplicated, used, or disclosed - in whole or in part - for any purpose other than for the purposes set forth herein.

2.4 Security Considerations

The Marine Corps has determined it is likely that the contractor will be required to access material up to the SECRET classification level.

Respondents are also requested to identify any Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) concerns related to their entity. A Company is considered to be operating under a FOCI whenever a foreign interest has the power, direct or indirect, whether or not exercised, and whether or not exercisable, to direct or decide matters affecting the management or operations of that company in a manner which may result in unauthorized access to classified information or that may adversely affect the performance of classified contracts.
