OASIS+ is Live: Don’t Miss Your Chance to be on This Vehicle

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.

Changes from the Draft RFPThe final RFPs are the culmination of a process that started with a draft RFP released in March 2023, and there are several notable changes that may impact your proposal strategy, including:

1. The inclusion of Other Transactional Authority (OTA) as an allowable project submission.
2. Revisions to the Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letter (MRCL) criteria.
3. The removal of Attachment J.P-1 for representations and certifications.
4. A detailed clarification of the OASIS+ Unrestricted teaming strategy.
5. Adjustments to the Period of Performance strategy.
6. Addition of a requirement for cost/price as an evaluation factor.

We can help you navigate these changes and others to craft a compelling proposal.
