About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source Firm Fixed Price contract to Winter Bee, Inc. DBA (L.A. Speedy), Inc. for the procurement of physical training shorts for the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) program. This special notice was posted on January 29, 2026, with a response deadline of February 3, 2026. The contract will be awarded under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures using sole source authority per FAR 13.106-1(b). The government has determined that only one source is reasonably available to fulfill this requirement. All interested and responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for agency consideration. This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside.
The Marine Corps requires 25,330 PT shorts in eight sizes (XS through 4XL) manufactured to specific military standards, including olive drab colored, 100% polyester mesh at 160 gsm with gold embroidered "MCJROTC" markings on the front left leg. The justification for the sole source award to LA Speedy is based on their two-year track record of providing consistent, standardized products that maintain uniformity across MCJROTC units nationwide, which is critical for the program's military training mission and cadet appearance standards. Market research conducted per FAR Part 10 across government-approved vendor databases and commercial markets identified no alternative vendors capable of replicating the precise specifications currently achieved by the incumbent contractor. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing by comparing quoted pricing against published price lists, historical pricing, and other commercially available information. Eligible contractors, particularly small businesses, are encouraged to submit responses demonstrating capability to meet the technical specifications and quality standards established for this requirement.
