PSC Comments on Army MAPS Draft RFP 5
PSC submitted comments on the Army’s March 10, 2026 draft RFP for the Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS), urging the Army to structure the vehicle in a way that preserves robust competition, expands access to innovation, and reduces protest risk. PSC’s comments focus on three core recommendations: removing or significantly increasing the cap on awards in favor of a minimum qualification threshold, resolving inconsistencies in affiliate and gate criteria requirements while allowing Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letters, and clarifying expectations for one-on-one pricing alignment discussions tied to future task orders. Overall, PSC emphasized that MAPS should support mission success through a fair, competitive procurement framework that reflects the size and diversity of the current Army industrial base.
