Salient Characteristics - 2x UTV.docx

This is a Salient Characteristics document for a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) procurement by Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) Parris Island. The document outlines the specifications and requirements for four (4) UTVs that the government is seeking to procure through a Sources Sought market research initiative. The salient characteristics detailed in this attachment establish the baseline technical and operational requirements that interested vendors must meet to be considered for this supply requirement. This is a pre-solicitation phase, and responses are being sought solely for market research purposes to identify capable small business sources; submission of information does not obligate the government to issue a formal solicitation or award any contract.

Interested small business vendors are required to submit their responses by 1:00 PM EST on May 26, 2026, to the Point of Contact (POC), Steven Kirk, at steven.kirk.civ@usmc.mil or 843-228-3258. Vendors must provide their CAGE Code or Unique Identity Code and their socioeconomic status designation (such as HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business, or Veteran-Owned Small Business). The United States Marine Corps is conducting this market research to determine the availability and capability of small business sources to fulfill the UTV supply requirement.
