iPrime Equipment for GPN MCPP Philippines

The Marine Corps Logistics Base is conducting a sole-source, brand-name-only acquisition under FAR Part 12 to procure three specialized pieces of equipment—six TSL 1166 Bluetooth Rugged UHF RFID Readers, fifteen Zebra DS3678-SR Cordless Standard Range Handheld Barcode Scanners with Cradle USB Kits, and twenty DT311YR DT Research Rugged Tablets with accessories—for the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program in the Philippines to support the Global Positioning Network mission. The acquisition, identified by solicitation number M6700426Q0056, is justified due to the proprietary integration requirements of these specific models with the Marine Corps Platform Integration Center, leaving no other commercially available alternatives capable of fulfilling the operational needs. The total contract value is $126,495.03, funded through the Office of Military Construction and Management, and delivery is mandated no later than September 30, 2026, with all items to be palletized and coordinated for shipment from Jacksonville, Florida, the designated place of performance. Although no formal evaluation factors, pricing details, or contract clauses are explicitly listed, the procurement follows a non-competitive process under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 6.302-2, citing both brand exclusivity and an urgent, compelling operational need. The contract is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, eliminating requirements for small business subcontracting plans or formal inspection standards, and relies on the manufacturer’s commercial item quality assurances. Delivery coordination is managed through Charles Stichberry at the Jacksonville location, with contract administration overseen by Contracting Officer Steven K. Wynne and technical certification by Gibran Chacon, while no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative is formally designated. The acquisition lacks detailed packaging, preservation, labeling, or invoicing instructions beyond the requirement for palletized delivery, and no specifications for barcoding, MIL-STD compliance, or cybersecurity measures are included. Solicitations closed on July 27, 2026, and the contract was signed by the contracting officer on July 15, 2026, with all submissions expected through SAM.gov.
