About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source on July 9, 2026, to procure a five-day high-angle precision rifle ballistics course from JBM Training, LLC, scheduled for July 13–17, 2026, at Hat Creek Training facility in Pollock, Idaho. This is a total small business set-aside (NAICS 611519, PSC U099) using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR 6.302-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency).
The procurement includes rifle rental, 500 rounds of 300 NM magnum ammunition, and all training services per the attached Statement of Work. The course serves the Maritime Security Response Team West (MSRTW) Precision Marksman Operator training requirement, focusing on high-angle engagements above 25 degrees, mountainous terrain with over 1,800 feet elevation change, robotic moving target systems, nighttime and thermal target engagements, and variable wind conditions exceeding 12–16 MPH. Hat Creek Training is the sole identified facility capable of meeting these requirements on the compressed FY26 timeline; the justification confirms extensive market research found no alternative vendor can deliver the required SOCOM-validated training environment and terrain profiles without unacceptable mission delay and operational risk.
All responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating clear and convincing evidence of capability addressing the Statement of Work requirements to Contracting Officer Terry Craft at terry.e.craft@uscg.edu by July 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PST.
