RFI-Coordinators of Religious Education

The United States Marine Corps, specifically the Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region - Regional Contracting Office (MCINCR-RCO), is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to assess market capabilities for comprehensive religious educational program services at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The procurement seeks two coordinators - one for Catholic and one for Protestant religious education - who will implement educational programs concurrent with the academic year and facilitate ecumenical activities in consultation with base chaplains. Potential contractors are required to submit a 20-page maximum capabilities statement in Microsoft Word by June 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, including business details, CAGE code, and DUNS number. The RFI aims to conduct market research and determine industry service capabilities, with respondents invited to provide non-binding statements of interest and documentation demonstrating their technical capabilities and potential service approaches. Evaluation will focus on contractors' ability to develop age-appropriate curricula, recruit and train volunteer teachers, manage religious education programs, and work effectively within the military community.

The current contract (M00264-23-P-0055) is held by K. Parks Consulting, Inc. as a small business set-aside, and the government is contemplating using NAICS code 813110 (Religious Organizations) with a $13 million size standard. The proposed contract structure includes a base year with four potential one-year option periods, all services to be performed at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. Specific requirements include implementing programs such as Sunday school, youth groups, Bible studies, and special events like Vacation Bible School, with contractors needed to have faith-specific certifications and credentials. Contractors must be capable of managing sacramental preparations, conducting background checks on volunteers, and maintaining detailed educational records. The procurement seeks professionals proficient in Microsoft Office who can work flexibly within the dynamic military community environment, with specific emphasis on both Catholic and Protestant religious education coordinators who can demonstrate theological knowledge and curriculum development skills.
