The Army Contracting Command has published updates on the Mission and Priorities Support (MAPS) IDIQ, including the draft RFP sections, Performance Work Statement (PWS), and a detailed Scorecard. With 100 anticipated awards across five domains, MAPS is a strategic opportunity to support Army modernization over the next decade.

Key Points from the MAPS Gate Document and Scorecard

With MAPS, the Army is looking to streamline procurement across five key domains and consolidate two major contracting vehicles (RS3 and ITES-3S) into one $50 billion opportunity.

The MAPS Scorecard outlines critical scoring areas that will shape evaluation. To maximize points, vendors should focus on the following:

• Systems and Rates: Up to 2 points are awarded for certified systems, including Forward Pricing, Billing, and Property Management.
• Certifications: Ensure you meet essential requirements, such as CMMC Level 2 and ANSI/EIA-748 certifications, with each certification earning 1 point.
• Past Performance: Demonstrate technical capability and strong past performance aligned with NAICS codes in your target domain, scoring up to 15 points.
• Recruitment and Retention: Earn up to 3 points each by showcasing a high-confidence approach to recruiting and retaining qualified personnel.
• Risk Management: Highlight proactive risk management plans to earn up to 3 points by illustrating a clear, structured approach to addressing potential challenges.

PWS Highlights by Domain

Each MAPS domain in the draft PWS has specific requirements. Here’s where to focus:

• Technical Services: Demonstrate strength in engineering and logistics. Scoring well in Systems and Rates will showcase your ability to handle this domain’s demands.
• RDT&E: Highlight past R&D experience with rapid response solutions.
• Management and Advisory Services: Emphasize program management and quality assurance strategies to bolster your score in Risk Management and Past Performance.
• High-Level IT Services: Focus on advanced IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and data analytics to address Army modernization.
• Low-Level IT Services: Show how your support approach will meet the Army’s operational needs in areas like help desk support and supply chain management.
