M00264-26-R-0002 Marine Corps Information Maneuver Schools (MCIMS)

Why This Matters

This is an explicit SDVOSB set-aside for Marine Corps Information Maneuver Schools (MCIMS) training services under NAICS 611430 (Professional/Management Development Training), posted June 12, 2026 — the presolicitation window is open NOW, making this the ideal moment to engage the contracting officers before the RFP drops. SDVOSBs in defense training, military education, or IT instruction have a protected lane with no large-business competition allowed.

Recommended Action

Email Erin Silverthorn at erin.silverthorn@usmc.mil this week introducing your firm, confirming SDVOSB status, and requesting the draft PWS or any market research questionnaire ahead of the formal RFP release.

Risk Assessment

NAICS 611430 is competitive among SDVOSBs with existing USMC or DoD training credentials; an incumbent likely exists and will have past performance and institutional knowledge advantages that a new entrant must overcome quickly. Without the full solicitation text available, scope, period of performance, and staffing requirements are unknown — underbidding or misreading the labor mix could create a pricing risk.
