The primary professional service disciplines covered by OASIS include program management and consulting, professional engineering, logistics, and financial.

    Hi David, Thank you very much for your comment.  We are considering that NAICS code 541611 would best represent the primary services to be provided under task orders.  We are also conducting market research on the possibility of having...Read More

    Yes, NAICS Code 541611 does best describe the core service areas intended for the OASIS contract vehicle.

    Understanding the general categories proposed, have you ever illustrated with examples the types of projects that could be conducted using this proposed contract?

    Hi and thanks for the question.  Actually, we have presented three different examples in our presentations to the Coalition for Government Procurement.  While far from a complete list of examples that could be performed on OASIS, it does give...Read More

    There is a rumor or some speculation that the RFP will not require or want subs to be named in the proposal.  True or false?

    Hello.  The answer is TRUE.  Evaluations will be based on prime contractors only.  Thanks for the question.  Jim

    Attention Small Businesses! We Need Your Feedback on a Small Business Set-Aside
    GSA is making good progress with our acquisition planning process.   Currently, we are thinking that the best way to maximize Small Business (SB) participation is through the issuance of two solicitations: one OASIS-Small Business set-aside and one OASIS unrestricted.

    Hello, my question relates to the set-aside tracks under consideration for OASIS. Have you thought about identiying VOSB by itself, and allowing for preference to SDVOSB on a case-by-case basis? The trend appears to be to identify SDVOSB and not VOSB;...Read More

    Can a company add OASIS to their contract portfolio (like a PES schedule) at any time or only through this procurement effort? Thanks

    Hi and thanks for the question.  The direct answer to your question is that a company will NOT be able to add OASIS to their contract portfolio at any time.  Companies will have to successfully compete to be on the OASIS or OASIS SB contract,...Read More

    Where We Are, Where We’re Headed: An Update
    Greetings OASIS Community! Today, I’d like to provide a general update on where we are and what’s coming up for OASIS. On June 11, the OASIS team asked Industry members to provide feedback on a variety of important issues via white paper. On behalf of all of us here, I’d like to thank all of the companies that took the time to respond to our request. Frankly, we were overwhelmed and thrilled with the response.

    Jeff Koses presentation on July 26 at the MAGIC Conference mentions a limited number of awards based on best in class and best value determination. Can you tell us how many awards are planned for the full and open and SB? Thanks.

    Hi there.  The Government has no predetermined number of awards that it plans to make.  We will award on a best value basis and there is no way to determine how many awards might be issued until proposals are received and evaluated. Jim

    GSA/Industry One-on-Ones: The Results Are In!
    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their participation in the OASIS one-on-one sessions last month. The final sessions concluded last week and the team here is reviewing the tremendous amount of feedback and ideas presented by Industry. I'm proud to say we met with 65 Industry partners, and the white papers presented a total of 22 questions.  As I've emphasized before, the OASIS team considers Industry a key partner in the OASIS development process.

    Do You Have OCI Concerns?
    Over the past few months, Industry members have expressed concern regarding the possibility of running into an OCI-- Organizational Conflict of Interest-- and how one could impact competition. Based on recent conversations, some Industry members would like to feel more comfortable competing at the task order level.   For your reference, here is a definition of an OCI:

    Federal News Radio to Feature OASIS This Week!
    Last week, I had the opportunity to discuss OASIS with Federal News Radio host Roger Waldron, president of The Coalition for Government Procurement. It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Roger, who has more than 20 years of government contracting experience. He was previously a senior procurement executive for the GSA from 2005 thru 2007; therefore, he has a great understanding of our business and knew just the right questions to ask.
