United States Marine Corps (USMC) Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Commercial Training Services

The United States Marine Corps is seeking commercial offsite training services to support its Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting personnel with realistic, live-fire training that fulfills operational, safety, and qualification requirements. This need arises from a training gap caused by the planning and construction of new military facilities, which temporarily limits organic training capabilities. The acquisition is structured as a competitive, small business set-aside under NAICS code 611519, resulting in a single award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract with a five-year ordering period. The solicitation, identified as M9549426Q0004, was posted on July 28, 2026, with a response deadline of August 3, 2026, and has been amended to extend the due date for quote submissions and provide a consolidated list of questions and answers for proposers. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense through the Commanding Officer’s office located in Washington, D.C., with primary point of contact Carrie Yearian and secondary contact Walter Chuck Knapp available for inquiries. The place of performance is not specified, indicating that training may be delivered at various commercial locations as needed, and proposals are expected to address the flexibility to meet USMC training demands across the country. All submissions must come from small businesses eligible under the SBA’s small business set-aside program, ensuring the opportunity supports small business growth while addressing a critical readiness requirement for Marine Corps ARFF teams.
