About this opportunity
Marine Corps Installations East awarded a sole-source contract to United States Marine, Inc. on July 1, 2026, for 11-Meter Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boat (11M NSW RHIB) system and electrical system training courses valued at $22,386.04.
The award was made under FAR 12.102(a) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, citing 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). No set-aside applied. The sole-source justification rests on United States Marine, Inc.'s status as the original equipment manufacturer and exclusive holder of proprietary technical data, engineering drawings, wiring schematics, and factory-certified instructional materials required for the specialized training. The training covers engine maintenance, RIB systems, electrical troubleshooting methods, and underway boat handling necessary to support the 2D Amphibious Assault Battalion and Maritime Raid Force operations. No other commercial vendor possesses legal rights or authorized access to OEM-approved materials; third-party training without OEM materials presents unacceptable safety risks and risks voiding manufacturer warranties. Contract M6700126P0064 was issued. Capability statements from small-business firms believing they can meet the requirement are due by August 7, 2026.
