Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Knox, has issued a Special Notice / Sources Sought for Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) support services at Bowie State University. This notice aims to identify capable vendors to foster a competitive procurement, as the U.S. Government initially intended a sole source award to Bowie State University under FAR 12.102(a).
Purpose & Background
This is a market research effort to determine if other sources are available to perform services for the 4BDE JROTC at Bowie State. While an initial sole source award was contemplated, MICC Fort Knox is actively seeking responses from all interested businesses (large and small) to potentially enable a competitive solicitation. The government emphasizes that a small business set-aside will only be considered if at least two small businesses provide sufficient information demonstrating their capabilities.
Scope of Interest
The requirement is for services supporting the JROTC program at Bowie State University. The anticipated NAICS code is 721214 (Recreational and Vacation Camps). Vendors should be prepared to detail their ability to meet the requirement, including previous experience and commercial availability.
Response Requirements
Interested parties must submit the following information:
- Firm name, point of contact, phone, email, Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and small business status/certifications (e.g., 8(a), SDB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB).
- Indication of interest in competing as a prime contractor, including any subcontracting, joint venture, or teaming arrangements.
- Detailed explanation of capabilities, including previous experience (prime or subcontractor, size, scope, complexity, timeframe, government or commercial) and pertinent certifications.
- Information on commercial availability of the service, including pricing, basis for pricing, delivery schedules, customary terms and conditions, and warranties.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Special Notice / Sources Sought
- Set-Aside: None specified (seeking information to determine viability of small business set-aside)
- Response Due: June 2, 2026, 1:00 PM ET (Fort Knox local time)
- Published: May 19, 2026
Additional Notes
This notice is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Quote/Invitation for Bid/Request for Proposal. The U.S. Government is not seeking quotes or proposals at this time and will not pay for response costs. A competitive solicitation, if released, will be synopsized on the Governmentwide Point of Entry. Submissions must be made electronically via the PIEE Solicitation Module.
