Multiple Companies Challenge Solicitation Criteria And Scoring
The US Army’s $50 billion Marketplace for the Acquisition of Professional Services (MAPS) vehicle has been hit with 10 protests from various companies, citing issues with evaluation criteria, scoring ambiguities, and small business credits. The protests, filed with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), have put the Army’s planned September awards on hold. The MAPS vehicle aims to consolidate multiple contracts into a single mechanism for professional services, but the protests may delay its implementation. This development was first reported by Washington Technology.
