AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Marine Corps, through Program Manager Training Systems (PM TRASYS), is pursuing a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to acquire an innovative Live-Fire Evaluation Tool (LFET) that delivers real-time shot detection and scoring to enhance individual Marine weapons proficiency and training effectiveness. The system must operate across live-fire and maneuver ranges in both CONUS and OCONUS environments, supporting small arms including the M4, M16, M27, M240, M249, and M2, while delivering automated After Action Reports aligned with Mission Essential Tasks and Training and Readiness events. The solution must achieve at least Technology Readiness Level 7, withstand extreme environmental conditions, integrate with existing range infrastructure, and provide graphical feedback on shooter position, fire direction, and hit/miss data. The acquisition follows a four-phase process beginning with a brief submission, leading to presentations, end-user demonstrations, and a full proposal, with a potential five-year performance period and a follow-on production option under 10 U.S.C. § 3458. The contract will be hybrid, combining fixed-price CLINs for systems and logistics support with cost-type CLINs for travel and direct expenses. The U.S. Government is currently seeking industry input through a Request for Information to refine the CSO before formal release, asking respondents to confirm intent to compete, recommend improvements to the draft, and assess their ability to deliver an innovative solution. Responses are limited to a two-page white paper or five slides and must be submitted via email to the designated contracting officers by May 22, 2026. The solicitation number is M67854-26-I-8050, with the NAICS code 541512 and primary performance located in Orlando, Florida, while the contracting office is based in Quantico, Virginia. Evaluation will prioritize technical merit, relevance to Marine Corps needs, cost and schedule reasonableness, integration viability, and risk, with award based on best value trade-off, not lowest price technically acceptable. No security clearances are required, but all submissions must be unclassified and comply with export control regulations. Joint ventures are permitted, and foreign-owned companies may respond, provided they adhere to applicable laws. The Government does not pay for RFI responses, and all submissions become federal property; participation in this RFI does not guarantee future contract opportunities, though it informs the final CSO structure.

Full Description
Program Management Training Systems (PM TRASYS) intends to issue a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) to solicit innovative commercial products and technologies in support of the Live-Fire Evaluation Tool (LFET) training solution. The goal of the CSO is to identify a commercial solution that enhances Marine lethality via improving weapons proficiency and skill development by providing real time live fire shot detection and scoring capability. Any contract resulting from the CSO will be a hybrid contract consisting of fixed-price Contract Line Numbers (CLINs) for systems and contractor logistics support and cost CLINs for Travel and Other Direct Costs to provide LFET to the Marine Corps. At this juncture, the Government estimates that the resultant contract will have a total potential period of performance of five years. The Government anticipates awarding a single contract resulting from the CSO.
