Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Hook and Line (HK) Team Kit (TK)

The United States Marine Corps, through Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), has issued a Request for Information seeking potential sources for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Hook and Line Team Kits designed to support EOD technicians in remote operations including neutralizing improvised explosive devices, manipulating ordnance, cutting wires, and conducting search operations. The kits must leverage commercial off-the-shelf items packaged in ruggedized cases and meet specific performance requirements including 90-95% material availability, ability to move charges from various distances and orientations, and remote manipulation capabilities. Vendors are required to submit detailed responses addressing pricing, production lead times, technical specifications, small business status, and prior experience supporting EOD units. Responses must be electronically submitted to anthony.fennell@usmc.mil with a seven-megabyte size limit and must include an executive summary, capability statement, and reference RFI number M67854-25-I-5322. The submission deadline is September 12, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. EST, with responses posted on the same date indicating the Marine Corps has received vendor feedback.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the available documentation. The Marine Corps plans to purchase 266 EOD Hook and Line Team Kits, representing a significant quantity procurement for specialized explosive ordnance disposal equipment. While specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, the substantial quantity suggests this could be a multi-million dollar opportunity given the specialized nature of EOD equipment. The RFI emphasizes this is strictly a market research effort with no guarantee of future procurement and vendors will not receive compensation for their responses. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332999 for All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing and PSC code 1385 for Surface Use Explosive Ordnance Disposal Tools and Equipment.
