What’s Unique about USMC Acquisition “DOESN’T THE USMC JUST BUY ARMY STUFF?”
1947 National Security Act
Provide Fleet Marine Forces with combined arms and supporting air components for service with the United States Fleet in the seizures or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may be essential to the execution of a Naval campaign.
Develop, in coordination with the Army, Navy and Air Force, the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and equipment employed by landing forces in amphibious operations.
Develop in coordination with the Army, Navy and Air Force the doctrine , procedures and equipment for airborne operations.
Bottom Line: USMC does procure unique equipment for its unique missions
WHAT WE DO TODAY
WHAT WE WILL DO TOMORROW
Space and Weight are at a premium due to lift restrictions
Air
Sea
Efficiency and adaptability of energy use for deployed forces
Unique transportation requirements
All equipment must be capable of deploying via ship or air
Equipment must survive coming through surf
Electromagnetic interference from shipboard systems
Special restrictions for shipboard stowage / transport
Supply / resupply is from the mother-ship / Pre-Positioned Forces

USMC Power Considerations
Acquisition in accordance with Department of Defense policies for requirements validation / acquisition management / DOD MEPGS
USMC has unique requirements over and above other services
Many of the power solutions are adapted from commercial sector, but ruggedized for the military environment
Equipment requirements continue to grow, but manpower to support has not kept up.
Troop rotation is perpetual. Training/retraining is paramount. Ease of equipment use vitally important.
Closing Comments USMC Acquisition
We compete 99% of our programs
For programs that may go sole-source to a vendor, most likely they were competed in the initial phase
Market research dictates whether programs are small business set aside, or Full and Open competition
