About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps Regional Contracting Office at Marine Corps Installations - National Capital Region (MCI-NCR) at Quantico Marine Base, Virginia has issued a Notice of Intent for sole source procurement of advertising and sponsorship services. The agency intends to award a contract to Winter Guard International Inc., located in Miamisburg, Ohio, to support the United States Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps recruitment efforts. This procurement falls under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures with NAICS code 711130 for Musical Groups and Artists. The notice was posted on August 20, 2025, with responses due by August 25, 2025. The Marine Corps has determined that Winter Guard International is the only responsible source that can satisfy the agency's specific requirements.
The primary objective of this contract is to provide extensive brand exposure and recruitment support for the Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps, which has fewer than 100 total Marines, through Winter Guard International's competitive events including forty-two regional competitions and World Championships in Dayton, Ohio. The sponsorship package includes expo space, logo placement, video commercial opportunities, social media promotions, and sponsor passes for Marine personnel. While this is intended as a sole source award, the government will consider capability statements or quotations from other responsible sources submitted via email to carsyn.stevens@usmc.mil by the deadline, though there is a discrepancy in the notice showing both August 25, 2025 and April 24 dates. The contract includes a twelve-month base period beginning September 2, 2025, with four potential one-year option periods extending through 2030. Award is expected around September 1, 2025, and the determination whether to proceed competitively remains solely at the government's discretion.
