The information provided herein is for information only and is intended to initiate communication with industry in order to assess market potential. No solicitation document exists at this time.

In accordance with Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Instruction 5400.15D Department of the Navy (DoN) Research and Development, Acquisition, Associated Life-Cycle Management, and Sustainment Responsibilities and Accountability, dated 19 January 2021, Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) has the responsibility to centrally manage the collection and analysis of anthropometric data representative of Marine Corps personnel. MARCORSYSCOM is seeking a commercial services contract to conduct an update of the 2010 Anthropometric Survey of U.S. Marine Corps Personnel dated June 2013. The 2010 Anthropometric Survey of U.S. Marine Corps Personnel is located at Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) Accession Number: ADA58191 at https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA581918.pdf . The anthropometry survey update will include approximately 900 additional male and female Marines with a focus on the percentile tails of less than 10th percentile and greater than 90th percentile. The Contractor will be required to develop a data collection plan, provide anthropometry data collection training for Government personnel, utilize 3D MD dynamic whole body and static head scanners at Government Facilities, utilize software for the extraction of measurements from 3D scans, utilize existing anthropometry data base and incorporate these survey results into a current anthropometry database. Included in this anthropometry survey will be clothed and equipped anthropometry scans and measurements. A majority of the anthropometry survey will be conducted at Quantico, VA, but may also require data collection at Camp Lejeune, NC, and Camp Pendleton, CA. Contractor personnel must be able to meet USMC Human Subjects Research qualifications with Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) qualifications. This is envisioned to be a two- to three- year effort based on availability of Marine participants with a rhythm of two weeks of data collection followed by a three-week period of scans and measurement verification. The Contractor must be capable of conducting the 94 anthropometry measurements from the 2010 Survey. The developed anthropometry database must be in accordance with International Standard for Organization (ISO) 15535 “General requirements for establishing anthropometric databases”. The Contractor will be required to store and manipulate large amounts of 3D scan data and hand generated measurements.
