MDA Advisory & Professional Support Services (MAPSS)

Other / Unclassified

This document is an "Information Paper – 3QCY25 Update" for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Agile Professional Services Solutions (MAPSS) program. It provides an update on the MAPSS acquisition strategy and outlines the "Tranches Approach" for its execution. The paper details the history of MDA's Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) procurements, the current scope and estimated value of MAPSS (approx. 3,000 FTEs, $5.5B), and its role in achieving category management goals. It also discusses the use of alternative contracting solutions, including GSA's OASIS+ MA IDIQ, and potential impacts from Department of Defense (DoD) implementation guidance on cost efficiency initiatives.

Key components include:

• Tranches Approach: A timeline detailing the phased execution of MAPSS requirements from CY2024 through CY2032, broken down into six tranches, each covering specific functional areas.
• Estimated Solicitation/Award Dates: A table outlining the projected solicitation notice/release and award need dates for each contract requirement within the tranches.
• TEAMS Next to MAPSS Requirement Crosswalk: A mapping of requirements from the previous TEAMS Next contract to the deconsolidated MAPSS requirements.
• Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Guiding Principles: A comprehensive section detailing MDA's approach to managing OCIs for MAPSS, including definitions, categories of OCI, guiding principles for offerors, and specific restrictions and exclusions related to various MAPSS contracts and other MDA/agency contracts. This section emphasizes the need for offerors to resolve OCIs prior to award.

This information paper is crucial for potential bidders as it provides a strategic overview of the MAPSS program, its phased acquisition approach, and projected timelines for future solicitations. It highlights the types of services being procured, the overall program value, and the contracting vehicles that may be utilized. The detailed OCI guidance is particularly important, as offerors must understand and address potential conflicts to be eligible for award. Bidders should use this document to understand the long-term vision for MAPSS and to prepare for upcoming opportunities within the outlined tranches, paying close attention to OCI requirements.

This document provides an updated acquisition approach for the MAPSS (Missile Defense Agency Agile Professional Services Solutions) program, outlining a "Tranches Approach" updated on October 24, 2024. It details a phased rollout of requirements across multiple fiscal years (CY2024-CY2032), divided into six tranches. The document also includes a "MAPSS Requirement Crosswalk" which details 18 TEAMS Next contracts transitioning to 28 MAPSS contracts. It provides estimated award dates, estimated values, FTE ranges, anticipated contract vehicles (primarily OASIS+), and set-aside goals for each tranche and specific requirement area.

This document is crucial for potential bidders as it outlines the future structure of the MAPSS program. It provides insight into:

• Phased Procurement: Requirements will be released in stages (tranches) over several years, indicating a long-term opportunity.
• Contracting Strategy: The shift from 18 TEAMS Next contracts to 28 MAPSS contracts suggests a potential restructuring and possibly new opportunities.
• Specific Requirement Areas: Bidders can identify which tranches and requirement areas align with their capabilities (e.g., Intelligence, Core Engineering, IT & Cybersecurity, Acquisition & Program Planning).
• Contracting Vehicles: The primary vehicle mentioned is OASIS+, which bidders should be familiar with.
• Estimated Values and Timelines: Provides an indication of the scale and timing of potential contract awards, aiding in strategic planning.
• Set-Aside Goals: Information on set-aside goals (though many are TBD) is important for small businesses.

Note: The document explicitly states that contracts depicted are based on TEAMS Next legacy requirements and may change. The final MAPSS Acquisition Strategy/Acquisition Plan Update will determine the actual contract structure, including potential consolidation or de-consolidation of requirements.

This document is a whitepaper providing an overview of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Agile Professional Services Solutions (MAPSS) program. MAPSS is MDA's fourth generation procurement for Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) support, succeeding previous programs like TEAMS Next. It outlines MDA's intent to acquire top-tier talent for the Missile Defense System (MDS) while balancing mission flexibility, costs, and streamlining contract structures.

• Program Overview: Provides context on the MAPSS program, its history, and objectives.
• Acquisition Strategy: Indicates a shift towards using Best-in-Class (BIC) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multi-Agency Contracts (MACs), such as OASIS/OASIS+, as the primary contracting vehicles.
• Phased Approach: The program is planned in four tranches, with Tranche #1 (Quality/Mission Assurance) anticipated for award in December 2025. Other tranches will address areas like MDS Engineering, Facilities, Logistics, Program Planning, Agency Operations, Warfighter support, Cyber, and Specialty Engineering.
• Timeline: Forecasts contract award timelines for the four tranches, with Tranche #1 award expected in Q4 2024, and the contract award in December 2025.
• Industry Engagement: MDA plans to increase communications with industry through postings on SAM.gov, virtual/in-person events (e.g., industry days), and a MAPSS Industry Webinar scheduled for mid-March 2024.
• Next Steps: Industry partners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with BIC IDIQ MACs and position themselves for future competition. Inquiries should be directed to MAPSS@MDA.mil.
