Army ACCESS & ITES-4S are now officially combined as MAPS. Colleagues, Most of you have probably already noticed, ACC APG and PEO EIS put out a coordinated message on Army ACCESS/ITES-4S, and it is located here: https://lnkd.in/eApaa4Aq A press release was put out on the PEO EIS website; located here: https://lnkd.in/g7543qrv The new name of this combined acquisition is now MAPS – Market Place for the Acquisition of Professional Services. The Army says they plan to have an Industry Day before the end of this FY, which is rapidly approaching. Originally, both ACC APG (ACCESS) and PEO EIS/PD CHESS (ITES-4S) wanted to have their solicitations released by the end of this year FY, but we now know they will be hard-pressed to get a Final RFP out by the end 1st Qtr FY 25 or even by 2nd Qtr FY 25. We still haven’t seen a Draft RFP, which the Army has said they would try to get out by “the end of the summer,” but we have not seen that yet. Assuming they do want to do a good Q&A process (we highly recommend this) and subsequent rewrite of the RFP, we believe this process if done correctly will take at least 60-90 days, so a DRFP coming out sooner than later is in the Army’s best interests. This is due to the expected high interest industry will give to this as we expect hundreds of responses with thousands of questions which leads us to the expected 60-90 days a good Q&A process will take. With the current 117 incumbents on ITES-3S and 260 incumbents on RS3, even with several duplications of incumbents residing on both vehicles, we can expect competition to be fierce for whatever number of incumbents the Army will decide upon…which in itself could cause some consternations if the Army seeks to significantly limit those numbers. Regardless of the fact that a DRFP has not been issued, we believe that actions should be taken NOW by any company who is seriously considering capturing and proposing on this critical IDIQ that will have a ceiling of $50 billion and a POP of 10 years. It will be 2034-ish before it comes around again. It will be a significant contract vehicle to pursue Army work that covers the scopes of both RS3 and ITES-4S…and then some. We here at rTurner are ready to assist you now to get ready for this major Army acquisition of services.
