JROTC Insignia

The Marine Corps Installations National Capital Region Regional Contracting Office (MCINCR‑RCO) is issuing a Total Small Business Set‑Aside solicitation (M00264‑26‑Q‑0024) for the procurement of approximately 481,250 Vanguard‑manufactured uniform components for the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (MCJROTC) program. Required items include rank insignia, MCJROTC‑specific rank devices, marksmanship badges, ribbon bars, and associated mounting hardware. These items must meet strict Marine Corps specifications for pattern, dye lot, embroidery, and durability to ensure uniformity and compliance across roughly 37,000 cadets in 248 CONUS and OCONUS schools. The award will be a Firm‑Fixed‑Price contract with fixed‑price CLINs, and delivery is required within 120 days of award. Because market research identified Vanguard as the only source capable of providing the proprietary brand‑name characteristics essential to MCJROTC standards, the acquisition is justified under FAR 12.102(b) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as a sole‑source action. The Contracting Officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing by comparing vendor quotes to commercial price lists and historical Government data. Point of contact for the solicitation is Edgar Clark (edgar.clark@usmc.mil, 910‑286‑5296).
