# MAPS Request For Proposal (RFP) Draft 5 - 10MAR2026 - Capture Assessment

- Company: MCCALL COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING
- SAM URL: https://sam.gov/opp/d38deedc708c4d02bae50df6c5e7e62a

MCC is highly positioned to join a winning team as an SDVOSB subcontractor leveraging its Top Secret Facility Clearance and ISO certifications. A prime bid is blocked by the CMMC Level 2 hard gate and a lack of approved business systems required for the self-scoring matrix.

## Why This Call Lands Here
- Subcontracting past performance permitted: Allows MCC to leverage its $8.3M subaward to add value to a prime's bid.
- Highly competitive self-scored IDIQ: Prime awards require maximizing points across systems and past performance.
- High-value subcontracting partner: Makes subcontracting highly viable and attractive to primes.
- CMMC Level 2 Hard Gate: Blocks the prime path entirely.

## Recommended Capture Actions
- Conduct immediate outreach to current prime partners on ITES-3 and ENCORE 3 to discuss MAPS teaming.
- Produce a one-page capability-to-scope map that shows where the company fits and where it does not.
- Review the Draft 5 Small Business Subcontracting Plan requirements to help Large Business targets understand how MCC boosts their evaluation score.
