Development Multiple Award Contract (DevMAC)

UPDATE (12 April 2023): A video update has been posted along with a Kanban board for DevMAC 2.0. Please keep in mind the Kanban board is a work in progress and is being continually updated. The Kanban will continue to be updated and shared with Industry. Here is a link to the new DevMAC 2.0 post: https://sam.gov/opp/f812b59165ff48ef8fb0589c83e16d2d/view UPDATE (11 April 2023): A video update will be posted no later than Thursday (13 April 2023) providing the latest info and next steps for DevMAC. UPDATE (11 January 2023): I would like to provide a quick update on DevMAC concerning where we are in the acquisition and what Industry can expect in the coming months. I apologize for the lack of updates on DevMAC. The team responsible for DevMAC is severely undermanned and has been for several months. Competing priorities and workload shifts have unfortunately caused DevMAC to fall behind schedule. We are working to update the acquisition timeline so Industry can plan accordingly. No decisions have been made concerning set-asides and teaming arrangements at this time. We will continue to provide updates as those decisions are made. In addition, Industry will be given the opportunity to review the Draft Request for Proposals and provide comments. More information about when Industry can expect these documents/decisions will be contained in the updated acquisition milestones. I also wanted to provide some background on the switch from HIVE.GOV to SAM.GOV. The HIVE was shut down on December 7th, 2022 which necessitated the need to move DevMAC back to SAM.GOV. FAR Part 5.003 mandates the use of a Government Point of Entry (GPE) and because Bidscale Connect was not a government website, I made the decision to move DevMAC updates to SAM.GOV. This guarantees Industry has equal access to information concerning this solicitation. I understand SAM.GOV lacks some functionality previously available on HIVE.GOV but we will do our best to provide information in a timely manner as well as continue to solicit your feedback as draft documents/concepts are available. UPDATE (6 January 2023): Files previously posted on the HIVE have been uploaded to this announcement. UPDATE (5 January 2023): Because the HIVE is no longer an active website, all attachments previously posted on the HIVE will be posted here soon. UPDATE (4 Jan 23): We have received multiple requests for example projects for DevMAC and example environments currently being utilized by the PEO. Examples of both are attached below and provided for informational purposes only. Additional information will be posted over the next couple of days. UPDATE (4 Jan 23): Updates on DevMAC will be posted in early January 2023. Because HIVE.GOV is no longer active, all future updates on DevMAC will be posted on SAM.GOV. UPDATE (12 Jan 22): Industry Day information has been posted on HIVE.GOV.
