About this opportunity

The United States Marine Corps is seeking to procure 1,500 sets of chevrons for Marine Corps Band personnel through a Request for Quotation that will result in a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order. The procurement includes black pin-on enlisted chevrons and gold pin-on enlisted chevrons for four ranks: Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, and Master Gunnery Sergeant, all featuring a musical lyre center design made of dye-cut metal material. Quoters must specify the soonest possible delivery date as part of their submissions and demonstrate capability to manufacture military insignia meeting Marine Corps specifications. Questions regarding this opportunity are due August 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST, with final quotations due August 5, 2025 at 10:00 AM EST. The procurement aligns with Marine Corps Order requirements for Band musician insignia, which must contain a musical lyre and be worn on various dress uniforms.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns. The total quantity breakdown includes 1,311 black chevrons (399 SSgt, 335 GySgt, 327 MSgt, 250 MGySgt) and 189 gold chevrons (78 SSgt, 17 GySgt, 47 MSgt, 47 MGySgt), representing specialized military insignia for the Marine Corps Band's enlisted personnel. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the notice, suggesting this may be a new procurement or open competition. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332999 for All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing and PSC code 8415 for Clothing, Special Purpose, indicating the specialized nature of these military uniform accessories. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the quantity and specialized manufacturing requirements suggest a moderate-value procurement opportunity for small businesses with military insignia manufacturing capabilities.
