About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the urgent procurement of 700 Ballistic Laser Eye Protection (BLEP) units for the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines (2/7) deployed to Seal Beach in response to civil unrest in Los Angeles. The requirement was identified on June 14, 2025, with a critical delivery deadline of June 17, 2025, due to immediate threats from hazardous materials, projectiles, and laser pointers encountered during crowd dispersal operations that posed significant risks to Marine safety and operational effectiveness. After conducting a rapid market survey, the Marine Corps determined that only Terrestris, LLC possessed the required inventory and could meet the urgent delivery timeline, justifying the sole-source procurement under compelling and urgent circumstances. The contract (M0068125P0018) was awarded to Terrestris, LLC on June 15, 2025, for $149,996.00 ($214.28 per unit), with delivery required by June 24, 2025. The procurement included four specific models of ESS Crossbow Black laser eye protection that exceed ANSI Z87.1+ and MIL-PRF-32432(GL) standards and are compatible with existing Marine Corps equipment. Delaying the procurement for a full and open competition would have exposed Marines to unacceptable risks and potentially jeopardized mission success in the volatile environment.
Notice text
This procurement is for the urgent acquisition of ESS Ballistic Laser Eye Protection (BLEP) for the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines (2/7), currently deployed to Seal Beach in response to civil unrest in Los Angeles. The requirement for BLEP was identified on June 14, 2025, due to the immediate threat of hazardous materials, projectiles, and laser pointers encountered during crowd dispersal operations. These threats pose a significant risk to the Marines' safety and operational effectiveness. Due to the volatile and rapidly evolving situation, a rapid market survey was conducted, revealing that only Terrestris possessed the required inventory and met the critical delivery deadline of June 17, 2025. This sole-source procurement of 700 BLEP units is essential to protect 2/7 personnel and ensure the successful execution of their mission. Delaying procurement to conduct a full and open competition would expose Marines to unacceptable risks and potentially jeopardize mission success. This procurement will provide essential protective equipment, enabling 2/7 to operate safely and effectively in a dynamic and potentially dangerous environment.
