In this interview, Tris Carpenter from Red Team Consulting shares a market view and current state of the Army’s new MAPS (Mission and Acquisition Professional Services) contract. Tris discusses how MAPS will consolidate two existing Army contract vehicles, making it a significant IDIQ opportunity with a potential $50 billion ceiling. He shares insights on Army IT spending, small business utilization, and the projected timeline for the contract. Tris also touches on how MAPS will impact small and mid-tier businesses and provides a high-level overview of the anticipated competition and evaluation process.
Topics covered include:
- An overview of MAPS based on what is known at this time
- A look at the leading contracts used by Army IT and professional services, as well as trends in spending.
- The primary NAICS code is still tbd, but could allow some mid-tier companies to be eligible under employee-based size standards.
- Projected timeline as of today, to include industry day expectations.
- Leading vendors on incumbent vehicles, major programs supported and top funding offices (not just Army).
- Which organizations are leading and involved in this requirement, to include org charts.
- Tris also touches on a near-term separate high-profile $10B Army Modern Software Development multiple-award IDIQ focused on Agile and DevSecOps practices, the timeline, and how it may interact with MAPS.
