USMC Rifle Team Components Procurement

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for specialized rifle team components and ammunition supplies. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing 11 specific items, including match-grade powders (Hodgdon H430 and Varget), rifle primers, projectiles from Berger and Hornady, and brass casings in multiple calibers such as 6 Creedmoor, 6 Dasher, and 6.5 Creedmoor. Vendors must submit a comprehensive capability statement demonstrating their experience with similar products, including contract details from the past five years and detailed company information. The RFI requires electronic submissions to anthony.fennell@usmc.mil by 12:00 p.m. EST on April 11, 2025, with a strict seven-megabyte email size limit. This market research effort under FAR Part 10 is designed to inform potential future Marine Corps requirements and does not guarantee a subsequent procurement.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors. While no incumbent contractors are named, the RFI suggests the Marine Corps is exploring potential sources for precision ammunition components for their rifle team. The government has not disclosed a specific award value or budget range for the potential future procurement. Vendors are advised that this RFI is purely for market research purposes and does not constitute a commitment to purchase or issue a solicitation. Potential offerors are encouraged to carefully mark any proprietary information in their submissions and understand that they will not be reimbursed for response preparation costs. The Marine Corps Systems Command will use the collected information to potentially develop more specific procurement requirements in future solicitations.
