USMC rifle team

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is seeking small arms ammunition for its Rifle Team through a pre-solicitation notice with contract number M67854-25-I-5211. The procurement appears focused on acquiring 9mm ammunition, specifically the Eley Minor 9mm 124gr Competition Pistol, which was confirmed as an acceptable product in a recent questions and answers document. The solicitation is classified under the Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing NAICS category (332992) and the Ammunition, Through 30Mm PSC category (1305). The pre-solicitation was posted on May 9, 2025, with responses due by May 23, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window for potential vendors. While specific evaluation criteria are not fully detailed in the available documents, the procurement seems to prioritize precise, competition-grade ammunition suitable for military rifle team performance.

The contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses, which limits competition to smaller manufacturing enterprises specializing in ammunition production. No specific incumbent contractors are mentioned in the available documentation, and precise award values or budget ranges are not explicitly stated. The procurement appears targeted and specialized, likely representing a focused acquisition to support USMC marksmanship training and competitive shooting requirements. By specifying the Eley Minor 9mm 124gr Competition Pistol as the primary acceptable ammunition, the USMC is signaling a commitment to high-performance, standardized ammunition for its rifle team. The short timeline between the pre-solicitation posting and response deadline suggests the Marine Corps is seeking to expedite the procurement process for this critical training and competitive shooting equipment.
