MAPSS Industry Day Webinar Questions Asked By Industry R1 PAapproved

MAPSS Industry Day Webinar – Questions & Answers Document, Rev 1 (last updated: 2 April 2024)

Common Questions (CQs)
•

CQ1: What are the specific Task Order requirements and objectives? o A: Each Contract/Task Order has its own requirements and objectives. Because the MAPSS portfolio is specific to Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS), the overarching requirement and objective is to provide support to the MDA Missile Defense System (MDS). Services include but are not limited to engineering support, financial and financial systems support, administrative/executive and public affairs/protocol support, safety and quality assurance support, intelligence/counterintelligence and security support, facilities and facilities/logistics management support, test support, business operations support, acquisition support, cybersecurity and Information Technology management/support, and strategic planning support. Additional details will be released as we are closer to the individual tranches.

•

CQ2: Can you provide more details about the scope(s) of work? o A: Each Statement of Work (SOW) will contain the requirements for the MAPSS contract. MAPSS will start with each of the TEAMS Next requirements; awards will be aligned with the individual TEAMS Next contract period of performance end dates. As appropriate, requirements will be de-consolidated. MDA will adopt a tranche approach for MAPSS contract awards. Market Research and Acquisition Strategy approval(s) will determine which vehicles will be appropriate for the individual MAPSS requirements. Additional information for each requirement will be provided at the in-person Industry Day (August 2024). This information will include incumbent names and contract numbers, prior used NAICS codes/size standards, and set-aside information.

•

CQ3: Are there any performance standards?
o A: Yes. The Contract Performance Oversight Plan (CPOP) will be used to monitor all contracts. The CPOP will establish minimum standards for the Government to assess conformity to contract requirements as key indicators. Quality assurance will be ensured fairly through a systematic and documented approach. The intent is to ensure the Government receives services that comply with quality and schedule requirements broadly detailed in the tasks and scope of the contract. The contractor will not rate its own performance, but will be permitted to provide input – likely via quarterly self-assessments – presumably based on its own Quality Control Plan.
