Quick Summary
The Department of the Army (ACC-APG) has issued an informational notice regarding its intent to consolidate the RS3 and ITES-3S contract requirements into a single Marketplace for Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) acquisition. This notice serves for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation; responses are not requested.
Purpose & Justification
The consolidation is justified by market research, projecting lower overall prices, significant operational efficiencies, and improved mission performance. By replacing two contracts with one, the Government aims to eliminate duplicative procurement and management efforts, reducing costs and administrative burdens. This strategy is detailed in a Combined Services Acquisition Strategy/Acquisition Plan (SAS/AP).
Scope of Services
The MAPS acquisition will cover knowledge-based professional services. Specific service requirements are not detailed in this planning document, which focuses on the overarching acquisition strategy.
Contract Details
This effort involves consolidating existing contracts (RS3 and ITES-3S) into a new, single contract vehicle. Specific contract types, periods of performance, or estimated values are not provided in this preliminary notice.
Eligibility & Set-Aside
Market research indicates that small businesses are capable of performing portions of the requirements. The procurement strategy aims to provide for maximum practicable participation by small businesses.
