Marine Corps Seeks Industry Input on Expeditionary Force-Monitoring Systems

The United States Marine Corps plans to hold an Own Force Monitoring (OFM) Industry Day on December 1, 2026, at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia. The event is intended to help the Marine Corps understand available industry capabilities for expeditionary force-monitoring systems. It is explicitly market research, not a solicitation, so companies should not interpret the event as a request for proposals, a contract award, or a guarantee that a procurement will follow.

The opportunity is relevant to companies with complete vehicle- or command-post-mounted OFM-Expeditionary systems and those offering dismounted or wearable Squad Level Sensor systems. Eligible companies invited to present should be prepared to describe their proposed solution in practical acquisition terms, not only demonstrate its technical concept. The Marine Corps is interested in system completeness, production readiness, manufacturing capacity and schedules, and arrangements for testing witnessed by the government.

For prospective suppliers, the industry day offers a chance to communicate capabilities and identify areas the Marine Corps may need to examine before shaping a future requirement. Presentations that clearly distinguish mature, deployable systems from developmental components can help government stakeholders assess readiness and potential integration needs. Companies should bring credible evidence supporting claims about production capacity and timelines, and be ready to explain how government-witnessed testing could be conducted. Participation alone, however, does not establish an evaluation outcome or confer a competitive advantage in any later procurement.

The listed government organizations include the Portfolio Acquisition Executive–Marine Corps (PAE-MC), the United States Marine Corps, Product Manager HCC, and Marine Corps Logistics Command. Procurement teams and industry participants can direct scheduling and logistics questions to Amy LaRose, while contracting questions should go to the listed PAE-MC contracting officer and contract specialist. Companies should use the event’s official communications for coordination and avoid treating the market-research exchange as a substitute for any formal solicitation instructions that may be issued later.
