This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside in accordance with FAR 19.5, restricting eligibility to qualified small business contractors. The specific award value and detailed quantity requirements are outlined in the attached FY26 O-Level Bag Group E spreadsheet, which includes planned purchase quantities for both U.S. Marine Corps and Foreign Military Sales programs. No incumbent contractor information or specific budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, as this document serves an administrative purpose and does not constitute a binding commitment or formal request for proposals. Interested small businesses should note that CMMC Level 2 assessments are conducted every three years, and level scores must be entered by the Organization Seeking Assessment into the System for Program Relationship Online. The government has not disclosed an estimated contract value in this notice, and vendors are advised that no telephone or written requests for solicitation documents will be accepted prior to the formal solicitation release.
