About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region - Regional Contracting Office is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for specialized instrument flight cases to support the Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps. The procurement seeks customized protective cases for three specific instrument types: Mellophone, Baritone, and Contrabass instruments, all requiring custom-molded foam interiors, plywood construction with durable laminate covering, aluminum/steel edging, and compliance with ATA 300 Category 1 specifications. All cases must be manufactured in the United States or comply with DFARS Buy American-Free Trade Agreements regulations, with the Contrabass cases uniquely requiring wheels for transport due to their weight. This market research effort requests vendor feedback on technical specifications, potential costs, performance considerations, product availability, competition barriers, and commercial market readiness. Interested vendors must submit their responses by 10:00 AM EST on July 25, 2025, via email to carsyn.stevens@usmc.mil, including capabilities statements, business details, contract vehicles, and responses to specific questions outlined in the RFI.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors who can meet the specialized requirements. The procurement specifies exact quantities needed: 10 Mellophone Cases designed for YMP-204MS instruments, 18 Baritone Cases for YBH-301MS instruments, and 10 Contrabass Cases for YBB-202MS instruments, totaling 38 specialized instrument cases. The document does not identify any current incumbents or contractors, nor does it provide specific budget ranges or award values, as this RFI is strictly for market research purposes. The cases must precisely fit the specified instrument models and provide protective features to prevent damage during transport, with incidental delivery services included in the scope. The opportunity is part of the Marine Corps Strategic Branch Fiscal Year 2025 procurement cycle, though no guarantee of contract award is provided since this remains a preliminary market research phase.
