November 14, 2023: OASIS+ Initial Proposal Submission Period Closes

On October 20, 2023, GSA’s Office of Professional Services and Human Capital Categories (PSHC) officially closed the initial proposal submission period for all six OASIS+ Request for Proposals (RFPs).

Thank you to our industry partners and customer agencies for your support and commitment to help us to build FAS’s next generation best-in-class (BIC), multi-agency contract (MAC) program for complex, non-IT, services-based solutions.

Our next steps and primary focus in FY 2024 will be on ensuring OASIS+ is “open for business.” That includes evaluating proposals, awarding contracts, publishing an OASIS+ Ordering Guide, and creating and scheduling OASIS+ overview and Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA) training.

Technical evaluations and awards will focus first on the OASIS+ Total Small Business offers since the legacy OASIS Small Business contract end date of December 19, 2024 is fast approaching. OASIS Unrestricted in contrast will expire on March 1, 2025. Our goal is to have ordering period overlaps between the two programs throughout the award phase to avoid unduly interrupting acquisition planning cycle times for our customer agencies.

The OASIS+ Program acquisition strategy includes reopening the solicitations for qualified offerors to submit proposals following the initial tranche of contract awards. A notional timeline for when that may occur will be shared as we move through source selections, make awards, issue Notice(s) to Proceed (NTPs), etc.

In the meantime, OASIS+ prospective offerors are encouraged to:

• Continue to monitor the OASIS+ Interact Page for program updates


• Continue to monitor the OASIS+ Submission Portal (OSP) and emails because if clarifications are required, the OASIS+ team may be reaching out in the months to come

Finally, a reminder that the agency will post updates on this forum as they become available.

*******************************************************************************************

October 10, 2023: This update is to notify industry that the OSP updates outlined in Amendment 0005 for all six OASIS+ RFPs have been completed.

The following OSP/Symphony functionality updates have been made:

• Added a field to allow an Offeror to input the period of performance for Single Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts, Blanket Purchase Agreements, or Basic Ordering Agreements for the purpose of validating whether a Collection of Task Orders was completed within five years before June 15, 2023. This update aligns the OSP functionality with the RFP at Section L.5.2.1.


• Corrected error messages regarding RFP Section L.5.8 submissions for populated and unpopulated joint ventures.


• Added a message to SB Utilization under the Unrestricted RFPs, indicating a CPARS is no longer the sole rating for SB Utilization. Offerors may use any of the acceptable past performance assessment ratings in lieu of CPARS. This change was previously reflected in Amendment 0004 and aligns with RFP Section M.6.6.

Reminders:

• Offers submitted prior to release of Amendment 0005, issued on September 21, are not required to re-submit.


• Prospective offerors should continue building and submitting their proposals.


• The proposals for all six OASIS+ RFPs are due no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on October 20, 2023. The system will close down promptly at 4PM ET on October 20, 2023, and no late proposals will be accepted.

• Minor clarification made to Section L.5.2.1, Qualifying Project Experience, and Section L.5.3 (Item 4), Federal Prime Contractor Experience.


• Minor correction made to the last sentence in Section L.5.6.2, Past Performance (when CPARS information does not exist).

OSP/Symphony Functionality

• A field will be added in the OASIS+ Submission Portal (OSP) to allow an Offeror to input the period of performance for Single Award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts (IDIQs), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), or Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for the purpose of validating whether a Collection of Task Orders was completed within five years before June 15, 2023. This update will align the OSP functionality with the RFP at Section L.5.2.1.


• Error messages will be corrected regarding RFP Section L.5.8 submissions for populated and unpopulated joint ventures.

The above updates to the OSP will be completed no later than October 9, 2023. Subsequent Interact and SAM.gov announcements will be posted to confirm when updates to the OSP are live.

• Updates multiple Section I clauses with most recent versions (September 2023).


• Adds clarifying instructions to Attachment J.P-3.
