Marketplace for Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS)

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document consolidates questions submitted by potential bidders regarding the Army Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) IDIQ contract and the Government's official answers and clarifications. It aims to provide vendors with necessary details to prepare compliant proposals.

• Proposal Submission: Proposals must be submitted through the Digital Marketplace Portal. CUI documents require exclusive submission via DoD SAFE, with specific referencing instructions. Offerors may propose to multiple Domains, each requiring a separate proposal, though certain attachments can be reused.
• Qualifying Projects (QPs): Extensive clarification is provided on QP eligibility, definition, and submission. This includes acceptable contract types (LOE vs. Outcome-Based), recency requirements (within the last three years), the need for customer signatures, and the use of subcontract QPs (permissible for Small Business, ELB, and Commercial-Sector Vendors, but not Large Businesses).
• NAICS Codes: Permissible NAICS codes for QPs are detailed, requiring alignment to the Domain-specific NAICS for scoring, though QPs do not need to match the Offeror's proposed Domain NAICS.
• CMMC Requirements: Screening requires CMMC Level 2 (self) certification, while scoring awards points for C3PAO certifications or scheduled reviews. The Government clarified that a scheduled C3PAO review is sufficient for eligibility and potential points. CMMC Level 2 (self) is requested, not CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO).
• Emerging Large Business (ELB) Definition: The Government is not changing the ELB definition, which includes a five-year lookback period and revenue aggregation from parent/affiliates/subsidiaries.
• CUI/FOUO Information: Bidders are consistently directed to review Solicitation Amendments for updated guidance on submission methods and acceptable formats for CUI/FOUO information.
• Other Clarifications: Includes guidance on uploading multiple proposal artifacts, subcontractor QP "passthrough rate" calculation, CPARS evaluation (Government pulls directly, submit only for QPs expected May 1-30, 2026), Post-Award Conference Pricing ($50-$100 FFP per Offeror), Small Business Participation Plan evaluation, Proposal Adequacy Checklist (not applicable), Performance Bonds (order level), file size limits (compress to meet portal limits), and Facility Clearance (SECRET not mandatory for all MAPS domains for small businesses at base IDIQ award).

This Q&A document clarifies numerous aspects of the solicitation, particularly concerning proposal submission, QP requirements, evaluation criteria, and documentation. Bidders should carefully review these responses to ensure their proposals meet all stated requirements. Several questions indicate that amendments have been issued to correct or update specific sections of the solicitation and its attachments. The Government generally denied requests for proposal deadline extensions.
