Description
The original Sources Sought for this announcement was issued via Seaport NxGen. On May 29, 2025, an announcement was made that this procurement would be set-aside for a Woman-Owned Small Business. It was later updated on December 17, 2025, stating the RFP for TIMS (formerly MAPS), is projected to be released FY26, Quarter 3, with a projected award date in FY27, Quarter 2. The Government has reevaluated its acquisition strategy based on recent Federal directives and adjustments to FRCSW requirements.
While the final contracting vehicle and set-aside status are being finalized, the previous strategy is no longer active. The Government continues to project an FY27, Quarter 2 award at this time.
