The United States Marine Corps seeks a Music Director/Musician to support the Religious Ministry Program at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, with proposals due May 15, 2026 and a mandatory audition scheduled for May 12, 2026. This is a Total Small Business set-aside, specifically a 100% Women-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists), with a size standard of $15 million.

Minimum qualifications include the ability to sight-read and play both piano and organ, familiarity with liturgical or contemporary worship formats, and a minimum of two years of military music ministry experience. The audition, held at the Base Chapel on May 12 at 1:00 PM EST, requires demonstration of proficiency on an Allen R300 Organ and Kawai GL-40 Classic Salon Grand Piano, including playing preludes, offertories, communion meditations, postludes, contemporary Christian music, and hymns with appropriate introductions, and accompanying a Catholic cantor on specified liturgical music.
The contract runs for a 12-month base period from May 18, 2026 to May 17, 2027, with two optional 12-month extension periods through May 17, 2029.
