About this opportunity
Marine Corps Installations East awarded contract M6700126P0121 to Big Top Manufacturing LLC on a sole-source basis for $980,400 on September 30, 2026, for Big Top Shelters and related modifications to existing aircraft sunshade enclosures at MCAS Beaufort.
The procurement was conducted under FAR 5.301 without competitive solicitation. The requirement encompasses siding and installation services for 62 existing enclosures, including side panel sets and hot dip galvanization, with a total government requirement value of $1,079,600 across fiscal years 2026–2027. NAICS code 314910 (500-employee size standard) applies. Market research determined no viable alternative sources could provide OEM-compatible tension-fabric side panels and installation services compatible with Big Top's proprietary CAGE 7P1M2 framework and tensioning system. The Government stated that use of a less capable provider would result in significant negative operational impacts. Notwithstanding the sole-source award, small-business firms believing they can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement with supporting evidence to the Contracting Officer by October 30, 2026.
