Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Agile Professional Services Solutions (MAPSS) Request for Information (RFI)

Initial Market Research by Tranche – Sources Sought Notice September 2024

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking information for potential sources of expertise in knowledge-based services to support functional and program organizations in delivering missile defense capability for the United States and its allies. While our expectation is that many of the MAPSS requirements will be set aside for small business, this is a sources sought to determine vendor availability and technical capability, so businesses of any size are welcome to respond.

As indicated in the MAPSS Industry Day Webinar (March 2024), MDA anticipates leveraging General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (MA IDIQ) contracts for the majority of the products and/or services required under MAPSS. Suggestions and feedback from Industry regarding proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and OASIS+ domains, are requested. All such suggestions will be considered; however, the Government reserves the right to solicit for the required services in a manner of its own choosing in accordance with the applicable procurement regulations.

Approved for Public Release 24-MDA-11897 (11 Sep 24)

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

Industry should anticipate the majority of proposal requests will be small business set-asides (SBSA) but several may be full and open (unrestricted). Proposal requests are expected to be released in a phased approach as existing contract period of performance ends to ensure no gaps in support. Vendors are asked to indicate interest by completing the attached sources sought form and support declared capability (by MAPSS requirement) with a capability statement compliant with instructions provided. MDA will evaluate responses to this notification and use the information provided to frame the structure of capability areas and determine which portions of the MAPSS requirements will be solicited as SBSAs.

A summary of each requirement is provided by Tranche (below). Interested businesses must be capable of performing requirements for which they declare capability as the prime contractor, enterprise-wide, i.e., at all MDA locations noted in each requirement. Please note that the descriptions and details are examples of potential requirements and are provided for the purpose of assisting interested businesses to better understand these requirements. The resulting responses will assist MDA with defining the MAPSS initial acquisition strategy. These are not full work statements and may not represent the final requirements of any resultant request for proposal.

Participation is voluntary, but encouraged if your company is interested in competing for a future MAPSS requirements. This is initial market research to solicit Industry’s feedback which will be used to form the basis of the overall MAPSS Acquisition Strategy. Market research will be refreshed in future years - by tranche - to ensure the Acquisition Strategy remains relevant. The final NAICS determination and contract vehicle for each requirement/capability area will depend on the group of work solicited at the time of proposal request.

Lastly, we recommend that the persons completing this survey be involved in the management and execution of these contracts as well as persons who will be involved in the development of proposals for MAPSS solicitations. Marketing materials and brochures are not requested and provide little value to this effort. Once you have completed your response(s), please email it to the Consolidated Support Program Office at MAPSS@MDA.mil. Responses are due by noon (12:00PM) Central Time, Thursday, 3 October 2024.

Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Agile Professional Services Solutions (MAPSS) Request for Information (RFI)

Tranche #1 Initial Sources Sought Market Research & Notification September 2024

The purpose of this RFI is to collect market research information to facilitate the development the overarching MAPSS Acquisition Strategy for Advisory and Assistance Support (A&AS) services. Additionally, it serves as a notification to Industry that the Market Research RFIs for MAPSS Quality & Mission Assurance (QMA) and Safety have been issued by GSA via GSA e-Buy.

Data collected as part of this RFI as it pertains to the rest of Tranche #1 includes the potential deconsolidation of the TEAMS Next Missile Defense System Engineering (MDSE) requirement into four separate requirements: (1) Core Engineering, (2) Command & Control (C2) and Sensors Engineering, (3) Ground-Based Weapon System Engineering, and (4) Sea- Based Weapon System Engineering.

Participation is voluntary, but encouraged if your company is interested in competing for a future MAPSS Tranche #1 contract. Please note, this is initial market research and a market research refresh may be accomplished for Tranche #1 in early 1QCY25 to ensure the Acquisition Strategy remains relevant, as required.

Proprietary information is not sought by MDA.

There is no limit on the number of responses from any company; however responses submitted should be targeted toward responding to the survey questions listed for the identified MAPSS Requirement/Contract of Interest selected. Some MAPSS requirements will have additional survey questions. Responses should include:

1) A completed ‘Standard Form’. If additional information is needed to respond to these questions, it must be entered into the space provided on the second page of the PDF form.

2) A Capabilities Statement file. This file must contain relevant experience information and address any additional survey questions not on the ‘Standard Form’. Contractor format is acceptable for this file but it must be a single stacked/combined file of the documents you wish to provide to demonstrate capability, not to exceed ten (10) pages.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

o Note: Relevant experience includes projects/contracts that are similar to the described MAPSS requirement and that have occurred in the past 5 years. Please do not provide general capability statements.

o The Capability Statement should contain at least one (1) relevant project to demonstrate capability and include the following information:

1. Customer Name and Customer/Client POC Email

2. Period of Performance and Total Contract Value

3. Description of Product and/or Services Provided; available Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Data, if applicable

We recommend that the persons completing this survey be involved in the management and execution of these contracts as well as persons who will be involved in the development of proposals for MAPSS solicitations. Marketing materials and brochures are not requested and provide little value to this effort. Once you have completed your response(s), please email it to the Consolidated Support Program Office at MAPSS@MDA.mil. Responses are due by noon (12:00PM) Central Time, Thursday, 3 October 2024.
