The U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command intends to award a sole-source indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to Useful Fiction LLC for proprietary narrative wargaming and Fictional Intelligence services supporting the MARSOF 2030 Vision. The contract will provide training, mentoring, and the development of strategic fictional narratives designed to influence defense thinking and operational planning, with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods totaling a maximum value of $9 million. The action is justified under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 12.102(b) due to the unique and proprietary capabilities of Useful Fiction LLC, which is the only known source with the specific expertise in crafting militarily relevant fictional scenarios and the deep understanding of special operations environments required to meet the government’s needs. This is a notice of intent, not a solicitation, and no competitive bidding is currently open. However, other responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating they possess equivalent proprietary methodologies and proven experience in narrative-based strategic communication for military audiences. All submissions must be sent via email to the designated contracting officer by the deadline of July 31, 2026, and must provide clear and convincing evidence of qualification. The government retains full discretion to determine whether any responses warrant a competitive procurement, and all information received will be reviewed solely for that purpose.
