What the government is buying
The Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking program management, financial management, and operations support services for the Program Manager Marine Air-Ground Task Force Command and Control (PM MAGTF C2) Program Management Office. This is SDVOSB set-aside work under NAICS code 541330, Engineering Services.
The PM MAGTF C2 program oversees systems that enable Marine Corps command and control capabilities—the networks, software, and integrated systems that allow Marine Air-Ground Task Force commanders to plan, direct, and coordinate operations. Engineering services in this context typically encompass technical program support, systems engineering integration, acquisition lifecycle assistance, and related analytical work that keeps defense programs on schedule and within budget. See the solicitation for the specific task areas, deliverables, and performance metrics.

Who can bid
Only Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) verified in the System for Award Management (SAM) may bid. Your firm must:
- Meet SBA size standards for NAICS 541330 ($22.5 million annual revenue threshold for Engineering Services)
- Be at least 51% unconditionally owned by one or more service-disabled veterans
- Have daily operations and long-term strategic management controlled by service-disabled veteran owners
- Maintain appropriate security clearances or demonstrate ability to obtain them; Naval program management support typically requires personnel with Secret clearances
- Register and active in SAM.gov with current SDVOSB certification
Joint ventures are permitted under SDVOSB rules if the joint venture is itself SDVOSB-verified, and the SDVOSB partner must hold the qualifying veteran status. Mentor-protégé arrangements may strengthen technical capabilities but must comply with SBA affiliation rules.
How to put together a competitive bid
Technical approach: Emphasize direct experience with DOD program management office operations, particularly Navy or Marine Corps acquisition programs. Highlight personnel with Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certifications in program management, engineering, or financial management. Staff with prior MAGTF C2 familiarity or comparable C2 system experience will carry significant weight.
Personnel qualifications: The government typically evaluates proposed key personnel heavily for PMO support contracts. Identify specific individuals with relevant clearances, DAWIA levels, and recent comparable performance. Provide resumes showing contiguous relevance—gaps in applicable experience weaken competitiveness.
Past performance: Prepare at least two to three relevant contracts from the past five years. Ideal references involve DOD engineering services, program management support, or C4ISR system support. Use CPARS ratings and customer contact information; verify references are willing to respond to government inquiries.
Price realism: SDVOSB set-asides can attract numerous bidders. Analyze labor categories against prevailing wage determinations under the Service Contract Act, likely applicable here. Ensure your indirect rates are current and defensible; significant underbidding risks technical unacceptability or post-award challenges.
Compliance: Address all solicitation clauses, especially DFARS provisions for Navy acquisitions, cybersecurity requirements (DFARS 252.204-7012/7021 for NIST 800-171/CMMC), and any SECRET facility clearance requirements. Missing certificates or representations commonly disqualifies otherwise strong proposals.
