About this opportunity
Marine Corps Installations East (MCI-East) Cherry Point Satellite Contracting Office has published a Special Notice announcing their intent to sole source a procurement to R.S. MEANS Company LLC for comprehensive training services on RS Means estimating software. The procurement is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) based on the determination that only one source is reasonably available to meet the agency's requirements. MCAS Cherry Point requires specialized training focused on facilities estimating using RS Means software and data products. The contracting office has determined through market research that RS Means is the exclusive provider of engineer-led training on their proprietary products, with only their certified trainers authorized to provide instruction on their solutions.
The primary objective of this procurement is to establish a contract for onsite training services that will educate personnel on the proper use of RS Means data for pricing and building estimates, overhead costs for construction companies, and training on assembly modification for renovation estimating. While this is a sole source notice and not a request for competitive quotes, the government will accept capability statements, proposals, or quotations from any responsible sources within five calendar days of publication (by August 29, 2025). Any responses received will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of the planned sole source award. The procurement falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and is classified under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training. Contractors interested in responding must demonstrate their capability to provide the specific RS Means training services required by the Marine Corps.
