Oasis+ Draft

The latest IDIQ Contract that is being issued by GSA has seen many names while in its draft form, the latest (and what we are told will be the final) iteration is Oasis+. This new contract will combine previous IDIQ's managed by GSA: Oasis, BMO, and HCaTS. It will also create categories that were not previously included on any other IDIC (outside of the Schedule System).?

The solicitation is still currently in draft, with the final draft anticipated by the end of the calendar year. What do we know about the contract setup thus far?

? Government-Wide Use

? No ceiling value

? Tier 3 Best-In-Class contract

? 10-year ordering period, with task orders running 15 years total

? No limit to awards

? After initial award GSA will allow for continuous entry onto the contract

? Pricing to be evaluated at a TO level (also will allow for all pricing types)

The contract will be setup with 6 socioeconomic contracts: Small, 8(a), WOSB, HubZone, SDVOSB and Unrestricted. Each contract will initially have 8 domains available, with the plan to add five additional at the later date. The initial 8 will include:

1. Management & Advisory

2. Technical & Engineering

3. Research & Development

4. Intelligence Services

5. Enterprise Solutions

6. Facilities

7. Logistics

Though there is not timeline for when the additional domains will be available, they currently include:

1. Business Administration

2. Financial Services

3. Marketing & Public Relations

4. Social Services

5. Human Capital

A big category you will notice that is not included within any of the domains is Information Technology, and it seems as though there is no plan to include either IT nor Health related services.?
