Quick Summary
The Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM) has awarded a Firm-Fixed-Price contract (M0068126P0019) to The Gordian Group, Inc. for an annual subscription to the RSMeans Data Online cost-estimating platform. This award provides five (5) concurrent user licenses.
Scope of Work
The contract provides an annual subscription to the RSMeans Data Online platform, granting five concurrent user licenses.

Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP)
- Awardee: The Gordian Group, Inc.
- Award Date: June 4, 2026
- Set-Aside: Non-competitive (Sole-Source)
Rationale for Non-Competitive Award
This requirement was awarded on a sole-source basis to The Gordian Group under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) (Soliciting from a single source). Market research and technical evaluation determined that using a different cost-estimating platform would introduce unacceptable mathematical risk to active contracts, leading to severe schedule delays and substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be recovered through competition.
