This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, responsible sources that believe they can meet the Government�s requirements may submit a capability statement to eris.cassano@usmc.mil by 15 August, 2026 @1200. The Government will consider all timely responses in determining whether a competitive acquisition is appropriate. A determination not to compete is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not reimburse respondents for costs associated with submitting information.
