Ceiling Increase Synopsis BA35

The United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has issued a Special Notice announcing a ceiling increase for an existing contract opportunity related to ammunition manufacturing. This notice represents an intent to issue a full and open solicitation and follows an initial synopsis released on September 15, 2022, which did not receive valid written responses. The opportunity falls under NAICS Code 332993 (Ammunition except Small Arms Manufacturing) and PSC Code 1310 (Ammunition, Over 30mm Up to 75mm), indicating the Marine Corps is seeking capabilities in medium to large-caliber ammunition production. No set-asides are designated for this procurement, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors. The notice was posted on April 7, 2026, and represents the government's renewed effort to identify qualified suppliers for this critical defense requirement.

Interested contractors are invited to submit statements of capability by April 23, 2026, at 12:00 PM local time to demonstrate their qualifications to meet the Marine Corps' ammunition requirements. All responses must be submitted in writing to Contract Specialist Anthony Fennell at anthony.fennell@usmc.mil; telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The submission of capability statements is not a formal proposal request but rather serves to inform the Marine Corps' decision on whether to proceed with a competitive procurement process. Submissions will be evaluated exclusively to determine if a full solicitation is warranted, and contractors should clearly mark any proprietary information to ensure appropriate protection. While specific contract value and technical specifications are not detailed in this notice, all interested firms with relevant manufacturing capabilities and credentials are eligible to participate.
