Army Moves Forward with Bundled Recompete for Professional Services and IT Contracts
The Army is proceeding with the bundled recompete of its Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) contract after nine months of deliberation. An industry day is scheduled for January 28, where the Army will present its plan, allowing companies to send two representatives for in-person attendance or participate virtually.
MAPS will serve as the primary vehicle for acquiring staff augmentation and technology support, replacing services currently provided under Responsive Strategic Services Sourcing (RS3) and Information Technology Enterprise Solution-3 Services (ITES-3S). Since their inception in 2017 and 2018, RS3 and ITES-3S have managed approximately $13.9 billion in task order obligations.
The MAPS contract is expected to have a multibillion-dollar ceiling, with an initial five-year base period and a potential five-year extension. The Army had paused MAPS activity in March for review under an executive order addressing procurement consolidation.
