Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) Marketplace

The United States Marine Corps seeks a commercial online marketplace platform for Group 1 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) Class IX repair parts with comprehensive National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) vetting on all components. The requirement calls for a contractor to operate a secure, web-based commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) marketplace that consolidates ordering, provides enhanced supply chain visibility, and ensures NDAA compliance through the Government's PMA-263 validation authority. Key contract requirements include achieving 99.8% marketplace uptime, submitting 100% of NDAA compliance evidence packages within 30 calendar days of nomination, delivering 95% of orders on time, and maintaining 99.5% order accuracy while adhering to commercial security standards including TLS 1.2+ encryption and multi-factor authentication. The marketplace must support both Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) services for NDAA compliance evidence package preparation and Time & Materials (T&M) pricing for parts procurement with a not-to-exceed ceiling of $999,999. Award will be made on a best-value basis with technical approach weighted as significantly more important than total evaluated price. The deadline for submission of questions is April 10, 2026, and quotes are due by April 27, 2026, with quotes remaining valid for 90 days from submission.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 425120 (Wholesale Trade Agents and Brokers) with a 250-employee size standard. The contract structure includes a base year with an estimated 100 NDAA compliance vetting actions and two option years with an estimated 100 vetting actions each, providing a hybrid pricing model combining fixed-price compliance services with time-and-materials parts fulfillment capped at $999,999. No incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. Prospective quoters must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and provide their Unique Entity ID, CAGE Code, and Federal Tax ID Number, with pricing based on publicly accessible open market rates as of the quote submission date. The place of performance is Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina 28547, with FOB Destination pricing to that location preferred.
