Marine Corps Prepositioning Program (MCPP) Industry Day Notification

Description

To maximize the amount of competition and open the lines of communication with Industry. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Prepositioning Program (MCPP) is planning to conduct an Industry Day to provide opportunities for industry to learn about the MCPP and the specific management and operating needs to execute this program through contract services. The Government anticipates providing a draft Request for Proposal (RFP) on 19 May 2025 via a separate notice and the Government will update this posting once the RFP has been posted. This is a special notice that is specific to the US Marine Corps, Blount Island Command, Jacksonville, Florida for the upcoming requirement for Logistics Support Services at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, Jacksonville, Florida and other worldwide locations. Background: The MCPP is designed to respond to unknown threats under emerging crisis scenarios across the full Range of Military Operations. To provide global coverage the USMC relies on its Strategic Prepositioning Program (SPP) as the primary crisis response enabler. The Marine Corps' SPP consists of maritime and ashore efforts, which provide Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCC) the combat capability sets comprised of equipment and supplies necessary to provide 30 days of support for multiple types of Marine Air-Ground Task Forces up to and including a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (roughly 16,000 Marines and Sailors each) for those crises and contingencies that range from major combat operations to Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief. Central to this operational deployment methodology and a major component of the Marine Corps' SPP is the requirement for specialized combat-readiness logistics services which are achieved through the MCPP contract located at Blount Island Command (BICmd) in Jacksonville, Florida. The MCPP consists of three functional segments: Maritime Prepositioning Force which includes Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS); Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway (MCPP-N); and Global Prepositioning Network. MPSs rotate one at a time, through BICmd aboard the Marine Corps Support Facility-Blount Island (MCSF-BI) in Jacksonville, Florida. Once offloaded the contractor performs the full range of sustainment, refurbishment, replenishment and specialized preservation logistics services to ensure the combat readiness of equipment and supplies for long-term storage. This contractual effort is focused on providing the GCC with the means to operate independently in an expeditionary environment for 30 days of sustained combat. Prior to re-embarkation aboard their respective MPS or deployment to ashore sites the contractor will regain custody of the equipment and supplies to back-load aboard each MPS and provide Care of Supplies in Storage for this materiel while forward deployed in their respective assigned Area of Responsibility. The MCPP is a cornerstone of the Commandant of the Marine Corps� Force Design 2025. The last CHINFO posting: KBRwyle Technology Solutions LLC, Columbia, Maryland, is awarded a $530,375,543 firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for Marine Corps Prepositioning Program logistics services in support of Blount Island Command.
