Federal Manager's Daily Report

GSA has awarded 125 contracts through its One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services – OASIS –small business contract to companies that will provide services for complex professional service requirements.

“We created OASIS SB to meet the growing demand for a hybrid, government-wide acquisition vehicle that maximizes opportunities for small businesses,” said FAS commissioner Tom Sharpe.

“We believe that the large pool of awardees will provide government with access to highly skilled small businesses through a contract that is not only cost effective, but also efficient and streamlined for easier use by federal agencies looking to purchase complex professional services,” he added.

According to GSA, the small business OASIS contract will complement the Multiple Awards Schedules program. It said OASIS SB would also drive down costs for federal agencies, and increase efficiency by reducing the time spent on developing complex contractual instruments.

GSA noted that the Air Force has committed to use OASIS SB in lieu of creating several of its own multiple-award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity acquisition vehicles.
