How to bid on MAGTF Staff Training Program (MSTP) Support Services for DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the Marine Corps, is seeking support services for its Marine-Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Staff Training Program (MSTP). These services are crucial for training senior commanders and their staffs in MAGTF operations within joint or combined task force environments.
The support covers seven key areas: Exercise Design, MAGTF Analytics, Modeling and Simulation, Documentation, Security, Command and Control / Information Management / Knowledge Management, and Communications and Information Systems. This opportunity allows small businesses to contribute to vital military training programs.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on July 28, 2026. The deadline for submitting proposals is August 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. All proposals must be submitted by this time.
Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered for evaluation. It is important to submit your response well in advance to avoid any last-minute technical issues.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is exclusively for small-business holders of a SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC). Proposals from any other type of vendor will not be evaluated. This makes it a targeted opportunity for professional services firms already holding this specific contract.
The required services fall under the professional services category, specifically those related to military training, simulation, analytics, and information management. Firms with expertise in these areas and the necessary SeaPort-NxG contract are well-suited.
How to respond to this solicitation
To access the full RFP, you must use the PIEE Solicitation Module. You need to email your CAGE code to the points of contact listed in the solicitation to gain access. Only SeaPort-NxG MAC holders will be granted access.
If you are a SeaPort-NxG MAC holder and do not yet have a PIEE account, you will need to register for one to receive solicitations and submit your proposal. The Navy has transitioned from the legacy SeaPort portal to the PIEE Solicitation Module for these submissions.
Practical tips for a competitive response
Since this is a targeted opportunity for SeaPort-NxG MAC holders, ensure your proposal clearly demonstrates your firm's experience and capabilities within the specific functional areas requested, such as exercise design or modeling and simulation. Tailor your response to directly address each of the seven functional areas mentioned.
Pay close attention to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and any other attachments, as these will detail the exact requirements. Clearly articulate how your team's expertise and past performance align with the Marine Corps' mission for the MSTP. Proofread your entire proposal carefully to ensure clarity, accuracy, and compliance with all submission instructions.
