Quick Summary

The Department of the Army is soliciting proposals for the Marketplace for Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS), a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contract. This opportunity aims to provide uncommon knowledge-based professional services and IT services worldwide to Army and other federal agencies. The proposal due date has been extended to May 8, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.

Purpose & Scope

MAPS is a follow-on and combination of the RS3 and ITES-3S IDIQ contract vehicles, designed to enhance flexibility, reduce redundancy, and improve cost-efficiency in acquiring professional and IT services. The contract will support Army enterprise infrastructure and infostructure goals globally, including hostile areas. Technical Support Areas include:

  • Engineering, Logistics and Operational Services
  • Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Services
  • Management and Advisory Services
  • Emerging IT Services
  • Foundational IT Services Services explicitly not within scope include Inherently Governmental Functions, Personal Services, Architect & Engineering (A&E) Services, and Construction Services.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ)
  • Maximum Value: $50 Billion (including optional ordering period)
  • Period of Performance: Up to 10 years (5-year base + one 5-year option)
  • Pricing Arrangement: Firm Fixed Price for the base contract; Task Orders may be Fixed Price, Time-and-Materials, or Cost Reimbursement.
  • NAICS Codes: While R425 (Engineering And Technical Services) is listed, the solicitation identifies five primary NAICS codes.

Eligibility & Set-Asides

The base contract will be awarded through full and open competition with reserved awards for small businesses. Awards are intended for Large Businesses, Emerging Large Businesses, Small Businesses, and Commercial-Sector Vendors. The government intends to make 70 awards per Domain.

Submission Requirements

Proposals must be submitted through the Digital Market Portal (https://chess.army.mil/proposal/default/index). Offerors must register one primary person (and one alternate for emergencies) for portal access. Only the last submitted package will be evaluated. Key attachments required: Cover Letter (Attachment 0001), Scorecard (Attachment 0002), Qualifying Project Form (Attachment 0003), and Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 0004). Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be submitted exclusively via DoD Safe (https://safe.apps.mil/). Guest Users without a CAC card must request a code by April 28, 2026, 5:00 PM EST.

Evaluation Factors

Evaluation involves a Pass/Fail assessment of Screening Questions (Section 01 of Scorecards), followed by a Verified Score for Past Performance, and a price analysis. Answering 'NO' to any screening question will result in disqualification. Mandatory Screening Requirements include:

  • Meeting all submission requirements.
  • Active SECRET facility clearance.
  • ISO 9001:2015 or ISO 9001:2013 certification.
  • CMMC Final Level 2 (self) certification or higher.
  • CPARS performance thresholds (e.g., for Large Businesses, less than 5% MARGINAL or below ratings over three years; for Small Businesses, less than five MARGINAL or below ratings across five NAICS codes).
  • Large Businesses also require a Government Determined Acceptable Accounting System. Past performance will be evaluated based on recency (three years prior to May 1, 2026), relevance, NAICS alignment, quality, and dollar value. CPARS will be pulled using the UEI Code.

Key Updates from Amendment 03

  • Proposal Due Date: Extended to May 8, 2026, 5:00 PM EST.
  • CUI Submission: Detailed instructions for DoD Safe submission, including Guest User Request Code deadline.
  • Scorecards (Attachment 0002): Clarifications on CPARS evaluation (using UEI), affiliate/subsidiary evaluation, and removal of Purchasing System requirement for Large Businesses (points reallocated).
  • Qualifying Project Form (Attachment 0003): Updates to items describing affiliate/subsidiary/JV relationships.
