OASIS BloggerHello, Industry Community! With the recent release of the draft RFPs and our goal of maintaining an atmosphere of transparency and fairness, we have consolidated all of the questions and feedback we’ve been receiving in our OASIS inbox and have provided responses below. Please note that some questions may have been edited for brevity or clarity. Since we have received multiple variations of some questions, we have organized them by broad topic areas in responding.

in OASIS Interact CommunityJim, thanks for getting the draft RFP released. The package is quite clear and well thought out. Regarding the Industry Day on May 13th; can you provide logistical information at this time (e.g., time and location)? ...Read MorePosted 04/01/2013 12:13 PMAs a person who has defended GSA and their government-wide contract vehicles in hostile fora for years, I feel very disappointed and betrayed by the OASIS draft. It seems as though GSA has thrown away all their best practices in government-wide...Read MorePosted 04/04/2013 7:20 PM -
OASIS BloggerHello Industry Partners, I know you are anxiously awaiting the release of the Draft RFP. GSA promised it would be released in the summer of 2012 and we are earnestly working to keep that promise. Our current plan is targeting mid-September, no later than the 18th, to release the Draft RFP. We know that this falls dramatically in your typical year-end business cycle and aware that your B&P teams will be extremely busy and that some of you may be unable to give the Draft RFP attention before October 1st.

OASIS BloggerHello OASIS Interact-ers! February is upon us and I’m sure you’ve all noticed that we have yet to post our draft Request for Proposals (RFP). As I promised last month, here is an update on where we are. As many of you know, we have a new Commissioner here in the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), Tom Sharpe.

in OASIS Interact CommunityHi Jim, Relative to your comment above on a contractor having a Purchasing System and EVMS - what do you mean by "an offeror will be given credit" - if they have these? Thanks.Posted 03/18/2013 10:37 AMIn the context of proposal development, is there a discrimination being cosidered between "past performance" and "capabilites". Recognizing that the past performance of a given offer will only be evaluated...Read MorePosted 03/18/2013 10:46 AMI understand that businesses will have to respond to the OASIS IDIQ RFP with a prime bid to be prequalified to bid on future task orders as a prime.

OASIS BloggerSince releasing the OASIS Business Case, the most frequent questions we receive at GSA are about strategic sourcing and how it will be applied to OASIS. I would like to use this update to address this issue directly and clarify key issues.

in OASIS Interact CommunityHi Jim,Just wanted to clarify what you mean by a 50% SB Subcontracting Goal on the unrestricted OASIS vehicle. Does this mean that of the work that the contractor subs out (as needed/at the company's discretion) 50% must be to SB's, OR...Read MorePosted 03/07/2013 4:38 PM -
OASIS BloggerAs we get closer to the release of the draft Request for Proposals (RFP), I thought it would be a good time to discuss GSA’s “Rules of Engagement” for interaction with our Industry Partners.
