About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps is seeking professionals to provide custom brass music arrangements for "The Commandant's Own" Drum & Bugle Corps, specifically for their annual "Music in Motion" program. The Request for Information (RFI) targets individuals capable of creating five original brass arrangements for a 15-20 minute musical marching performance by October 1. Contractors must possess extensive qualifications, including experience designing for championship-level Drum Corps International ensembles, brass caption head expertise, and a minimum master's degree in music. The arrangements must be specifically composed for brass bugles pitched in the key of "G" and submitted in Sibelius digital format. Contractors will be required to attend design meetings in Washington, DC, provide bi-weekly consultations, and conduct on-site consultations in January and February.
The opportunity is set aside for total small businesses within the Sound Recording Industries NAICS category, with a potential four-year performance period from July 2025 to June 2030. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) arrangement, with performances scheduled at Marine Barracks Washington, DC and MCAS Yuma, AZ. All travel expenses will be the responsibility of the contractor, who must submit digital arrangement files and participate in comprehensive project consultations. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract demands high-level musical expertise and professional composition skills. The RFI is time-sensitive, with responses due by May 23, 2025, and is explicitly noted as an information-gathering exercise rather than a formal solicitation.
