How to bid on Advisory & Professional Support Services for the Missile Defense Agency
What the MDA is buying
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is seeking advisory and professional support services through its MAPSS (MDA Advisory & Professional Support Services) program. This is a follow-on to previous professional services programs.
The agency plans to release requirements in several phases, or tranches. Tranche 2 specifically focuses on intelligence, counterintelligence, security, test support, public affairs, and facilities lifecycle management. This is an opportunity for firms specializing in these areas to support the MDA.
Key dates and deadlines
This special notice was published on July 16, 2026. The overall special notice is open until December 31, 2027, at 5:30 PM ET. This extended period allows the MDA to post ongoing updates related to the MAPSS program.
While the notice remains open, specific solicitation dates for individual tranches will be announced later. The MDA has already held industry day webinars to discuss Tranche 2 requirements and has posted a Consolidation Determination and Findings document for Tranche 2.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for professional services firms with expertise in intelligence, counterintelligence, security, test support, public affairs, and facilities lifecycle management. The MDA is conducting market research to inform its acquisition strategy, including potential use of GSA OASIS+ contracts.
Companies interested in supporting the Missile Defense Agency's mission through advisory and professional services, particularly those with capabilities in the Tranche 2 scope, should monitor this announcement.

Tips for a competitive response
Given the phased approach and the MDA's use of market research, it is important to stay informed about updates to this special notice. Pay close attention to any future requests for information (RFIs) or industry day announcements specific to the tranches that align with your firm's capabilities.
If the MDA determines that GSA OASIS+ contracts best accommodate their requirements, having an existing OASIS+ contract or partnering with an OASIS+ prime contractor could be beneficial. Clearly articulate your firm's experience and expertise in the specific areas of intelligence, security, or test support as these requirements are formalized.
