About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps has issued a Special Notice requesting information about suppliers who can provide enlisted chevrons specifically designed for Marine Band musicians, featuring a musical lyre center rather than the traditional crossed rifles. The notice seeks two types of metal, dye-cut chevrons in black and gold pin-on varieties across four enlisted ranks: Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, and Master Gunnery Sergeant. The quantities requested range from 17 to 399 units depending on rank and color, with significantly higher quantities needed for black chevrons compared to gold ones. This requirement falls under the NAICS category for miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing and the PSC category for special purpose clothing. The Marine Corps has attached supporting documentation including insignia regulations and a visual reference for the required chevron design.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to identify potential suppliers capable of manufacturing these specialized Marine Band chevrons rather than to solicit formal bids, as explicitly stated that this is not a solicitation. Interested contractors have until July 28, 2025, to respond to this request for information, providing them with a brief five-day window from the July 23, 2025 posting date. The notice does not specify particular eligibility criteria beyond the implied requirement that respondents must be capable of producing the specified metal chevrons with the unique musical lyre insignia. The attached Marine Corps Order document provides detailed insignia regulations and placement requirements for Marine Band personnel, indicating this procurement supports the distinct uniform requirements for military musicians who wear different insignia than standard Marine Corps enlisted personnel.
