Collective Licensing Services of Copyrighted Materials for The Library of the Marine Corps

The United States Marine Corps is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for collective licensing services of copyrighted materials to support the Marine Corps University Library. The Marine Corps Installations, National Capital Region - Regional Contracting Office seeks a service provider that can deliver non-exclusive rights for Marine Corps University students, faculty, and staff to use copyrighted materials for academic purposes, including storing, distributing, printing, photocopying, and combining paper and electronic versions into course packs. Interested vendors must submit responses by 10:00 AM EST on June 26, 2025, to heaven.j.onley.civ@usmc.mil, with submissions limited to two pages and must include capabilities statements, business details, and contract vehicles. The Marine Corps is seeking industry feedback on service capabilities, potential evaluation criteria, competition barriers, commercial market availability, and rough order of magnitude pricing. This market research effort does not constitute a commitment to award a contract and serves solely as an information-gathering exercise.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The RFI does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors providing similar services to the Marine Corps University Library. No specific award values, budget ranges, or contract ceiling amounts are disclosed in the solicitation documents. The timeline for responses is exceptionally brief, with only three days between the posting date of June 23, 2025, and the submission deadline of June 26, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 519290 for Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services and PSC code 7610 for Books and Pamphlets, reflecting the information services and educational materials nature of the requirement.
