About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is soliciting genealogical support services to locate and contact family members of Marines unaccounted for from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War for DNA sample collection purposes. The contractor will be required to provide comprehensive genealogical research, family member identification, and DNA kit management services, including locating primary and secondary next of kin, assembling and distributing DNA collection kits, and facilitating contact with relatives of deceased service members. Key requirements include completing at least 25 cases monthly with at least one credentialed genealogist (ICAPGen or BCG certification) on the team, and the contractor must handle DNA kit follow-up, swab procurement, and pre-paid shipping labels. The evaluation will be based on technical approach, past performance, and price, with contractors required to demonstrate one to three similar contracts performed within the last five years. The original quote deadline was September 19, 2025, but Amendment 001 extended it to September 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, with contract performance beginning September 29, 2025.
This procurement is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) with no incumbent contractor identified in the documentation. The contract structure includes a base period of 12 months plus four additional 12-month option periods, with the contractor required to complete 1,450 cases during the base period and handle between 1,000-1,200 DNA kits depending on the performance period. The pricing template indicates quantities ranging from 250-300 units for genealogical support services and 1,000-1,200 units for DNA kits across the various contract periods, with labor rates for a Program Manager position escalating from $72.07 in the base year to $82.13 in the fourth option year. Performance will take place in Quantico, Virginia, supporting the Marine Corps Casualty Section's mission to identify approximately 2,849 unaccounted Marines through DNA sample collection from living relatives.
