USMC Shooting Team Requirements

The United States Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI #M67854-26-I-5201) to identify potential sources for ammunition components and finished rounds to support USMC Shooting Team requirements. The RFI seeks vendors capable of supplying brand-specific or equivalent items including powders (Hodgdon H4350 and Varget), match-grade primers, projectiles from manufacturers such as Berger, Hornady, and Sierra Bullets, brass casings in multiple calibers (6 Creedmoor, 6 Dasher, 6.5 Creedmoor, .223 Remington, and 5.56), and full-up ammunition rounds from .22 caliber through 12-gauge shotgun loads from suppliers including Lapua, Atlanta Arms, Eley, Federal, and Badlands Munitions. Prospective vendors must submit responses electronically to Contract Specialist Anthony Fennell at anthony.fennell@usmc.mil by March 30, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EST, with questions due by March 9, 2026. Vendors are required to provide company information including DUNS and CAGE codes, small business certifications if applicable, NAICS code 332992, and a capability statement not exceeding five pages demonstrating relevant experience within the past five years. The Government emphasizes that this RFI does not constitute a procurement commitment or binding offer and will retain all submissions as government property.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities. No incumbent contractors are identified in the RFI documentation, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The RFI does not specify quantity requirements for ammunition components or finished rounds, as this is a market research phase intended to gauge vendor capability and establish the competitive landscape. Responses are subject to a seven-megabyte email size limit, and vendors must mark all proprietary information appropriately as the Government will retain submissions. The contracting office is located at 2200 Lester Street, Quantico, VA 22134, with an alternate address at 59 Tech Parkway, Stafford, VA 22556. This RFI represents an important opportunity for small businesses in the small arms ammunition manufacturing industry (NAICS 332992) to engage with the Marine Corps on a potential production contract.
