MCAS Yuma Brass Shredder

The United States Marine Corps at MCAS Yuma is seeking a brass shredder to process small arms brass including 50 caliber and below ammunition casings. This pre-solicitation notice requests market research information rather than formal proposals, specifically asking for recommendations on Product Service Code (PSC), NAICS code, appropriate brass shredder type for procurement, and the number of small businesses capable of providing this equipment. Interested parties must submit their responses to nathan.gervaise@usmc.mil by the August 14, 2025 deadline. The Marine Corps is conducting this market research to better understand the commercial marketplace and procurement requirements before issuing a formal solicitation. No evaluation criteria have been specified at this pre-solicitation stage, as the agency is gathering preliminary market information to inform their acquisition strategy.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities only. The Marine Corps anticipates processing approximately 4 million rounds of brass annually, indicating the substantial volume requirements for the shredding equipment. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, suggesting this may be a new requirement or the replacement of existing equipment. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or contract performance timelines, as this information will likely be developed based on the market research responses received. The federal contract opportunity was posted on August 7, 2025, with responses due within one week of the posting date.
