The General Services Administration has issued the final Requests for Proposals (RFP) for its One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services “+” (OASIS+) contract vehicle, a Best-In-Class (BIC) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award (MA) professional services contract that is valued at more than $60 Billion and has no contract ceiling. OASIS+ has a 10-year period of performance.
GSA did not limit the number of awards. All bidders who qualify will receive an award.
Bidders must meet the minimum threshold in the OASIS+ scoring matrix: that’s 36 out of 50 credits for small business and all socioeconomic set asides, and 42 out of 50 for the unrestricted group.

- Revisions to the Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letter (MRCL) criteria.
- The removal of Attachment J.P-1 for representations and certifications.
- A detailed clarification of the OASIS+ Unrestricted teaming strategy.
