MARINE CORPS RECRUITING COMMAND

STOREFRONT GLASS GRAPHICS USING

PERFORATED WINDOW FILM

1. Background This contract is in support of the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC) Branding Program for each of the six (6) Marine Corps Districts (MCD), which are located throughout the United States, overseas and its territories. The use of branded locations, emphasizing the approved Marine Corps colors, symbols, themes, furnishings, and lighting effects will help distinguish Marine Corps recruiting offices from recruiting offices of other Armed Services, providing a distinct recruiting advantage vis-à-vis other Services. The appearance of the branded offices leaves a positive impression not just with prospects, but their parents and other influencers as well.

MCRC is taking steps to improve physical security of recruiting facilities. MCRC intends to utilize perforated window film on the glass surfaces of storefront recruiting facilities in order to provide concealment, more specifically, protection from observation. On one hand, it is necessary to have a means of obscuring the view of Marine recruiting station from the outside as a force protection measure. On the other hand, it is also necessary that, where practical, the Marines maintain visibility of the area outside of their office in order to maintain their situational awareness. This will provide them with the possibility of early warning, if a potential aggressor is approaching the office or preparing to commit some type of hostile or unlawful act, such as vandalism, outside the office. Perforated window film will allow for MCRC Branding Program success, while providing increased security for recruiting personnel and individuals visiting recruiting offices. As a part of this requirement, the current storefront glass graphics will be removed, and new perforated window film will be installed to span the entire glass window/door surface. Perforated window film will be installed on existing facilities that have no storefront graphics. Additionally, perforated film will be replaced on existing facilities as required.

2. Objectives The objective of this contract is to provide glass storefront window/door perforated window film graphics and to replace existing perforated film to MCRC recruiting offices located throughout the United States and its territories, which shall be produced and installed by the contractor.

3. Scope The MCRC identified a need for a single award Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract for the production and installation of storefront glass window/door graphics.

The graphics shall be installed at existing MCRC Single Service Recruiting facilities with glass front windows/doors and Co-located Recruiting facilities with separate entrance glass doors at each of the six (6) MCD. The contractor shall also be required to remove all current graphics and clean the window surfaces prior to installation of new perforated window wraps. This requirement entails approximately 694 storefront locations with an estimated square footage of 240 square feet per facility. The Government will issue Task Orders for the quantities actually required. Recruiting facilities at each of the six (6) MCDs include but are not limited to Recruiting Stations (RSs), Recruiting Substations (RSSs), Officer Selection Offices (OSOs), and Permanent Contact Stations (PCSs). This requirement shall also incorporate any new recruiting facilities that are identified during the period of performance of this contract. The guidance and specifications for the graphics will be based on the aforementioned guidelines attached to this Statement of Work (SOW).
