About this opportunity
The Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC), under the United States Special Operations Command, is conducting market research through this Request for Information (RFI) to identify contractors capable of providing Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) Instructor/Evaluator support to the MARFORSOC JTAC program and other Air/Fires mission sets. The primary service being procured involves training and evaluation support as detailed in the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). This pre-solicitation notice is strictly for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal invitation for bid or proposal, with no obligation on the Government to award a contract based on responses received. Interested businesses are invited to submit a summary of their company capabilities and how they meet the identified requirements by the February 20, 2026 deadline. Respondents are also encouraged to provide comments, recommendations, or questions regarding the SOW, including suggestions for improving the PWS or reducing overall contract costs. Based on the responses received, the Government will determine whether to proceed with a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) and whether to restrict competition to small businesses.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation currently, though the Government has indicated that small businesses in all socioeconomic categories—including 8(a) Program participants, HUBZone-certified firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses—are strongly encouraged to respond and demonstrate their capabilities at fair market prices. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or specify award values or budget ranges, as this is a preliminary market research phase. No specific numerical details regarding contract quantity or service timeline are provided in the synopsis, as the Performance Work Statement remains a draft document subject to potential changes. The professional and management development training nature of the requirement (NAICS 611430) suggests a focus on instruction and capability development rather than physical goods procurement. Interested firms should carefully review the attached draft PWS to understand the full scope of requirements before submitting their capability statements by the February 20, 2026 deadline.
