Army MAPS

Update: On Dec. 19, 2025, the Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) made a special announcement that after almost a year-long pause and review of the Army MAPS acquisition, the Government has decided to proceed forward with the MAPS acquisition. As part of this special announcement an upcoming industry event has been scheduled for Jan. 28, 2026. The event will be a no-cost event and is open to industry and Government partners. Interested parties are encouraged to join the industry event either in person or virtual to learn more about the new direction of the Army MAPS during the pre-solicitation walk-through.

On Aug. 12, 2024, the U.S. Army Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems’ (PEO EIS) Enterprise Services Project Management Office, in partnership with Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), announced the consolidation of the follow-on contracts for Information Technology Enterprise Solutions 3 – Services (ITES-3S) and Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services (RS3) into a potential 10-year, $50 billion multiple-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (MA-IDIQ) acquisition vehicle. 

This new consolidated contract will be known as the Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) and will combine the strengths of ITES-3S and RS3 by offering a more efficient and effective way for the Army, Department of Defense (DOD) and federal agencies to procure knowledge-based professional services. These services include a variety of information technology (IT) and engineering services ranging from cybersecurity, program management and business process reengineering, to research, development, testing and more. MAPS will be the Army’s single source for professional services, while providing multiple North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes to ensure acquisition categories best align to requirements. The new contract also aligns with the Army’s ongoing digital transformation and efforts to implement Agile throughout the acquisition process. 

While the final solicitation is still under development, the PEO EIS’ Enterprise Services held an industry day on Nov. 8, 2024, following the Nov. 5 release of the first draft solicitation materials on SAM.gov. The Draft RFP was subsequently updated on Dec. 13 with industry feedback requested by 4:30 p.m. ET, January 13, 2025. Baker Tilly has performed a detailed review of both available draft solicitation materials and summarized the latest details below.

Ordering period 

This MA-IDIQ has an anticipated maximum ordering period of 10 years from the contract’s effective date, consisting of a five-year Base Ordering Period and one five-year Optional Ordering Period. MAPS will officially replace the ITES-3S and RS3 contracts when they are set to expire in 2027. Many anticipate MAPS to be a $50 billion acquisition vehicle. For additional context, RS3 was awarded in multiple phases between 2017 and 2019, with 260 companies currently participating in the $37.4 billion vehicle. The ITES-3S contract was awarded in 2018 and includes 135 companies, with a $12 billion ceiling.
