KEY NOTES

▪ Commercial-Sector Vendor:

– MAPS Definition is independent from that of a “nontraditional defense contractor” as defined in the U.S. Code. Distinction is necessary as the USC definition is exclusively associated with Other Transaction Agreements, a category under which MAPS does not fall.

▪ MAPS is intended to be a Professional Services Contract to obtain services, not to develop commercial capabilities.

▪ Survey: Participation in the released survey is encouraged; all responses will be carefully reviewed.

https://forms.osi.apps.mil/r/5dh7zSU8hz

▪ Timeline: While we understand that the timeline is extremely important, our timeline is 100% data driven, so our timeline has a direct correlation with survey results.
