GSA’s One Acquisition Solutions for Integrated Services (OASIS) program is a contract vehicle for complex professional services. It represents GSA’s solution to reducing contract proliferation and duplication across government. This is a problem for both government and for contractors, and when we look at what the government spends annually on professional services, the numbers are significant.
GSA uses the buying power of the federal government to bring down costs and reduce duplication. OASIS takes GSA Schedules to the next level by combining professional services and IT services into one package, creating a single source for both commercial and noncommercial needs – and eliminating the unneeded duplication of contracts. OASIS will offer full and open competition among all interested businesses, and OASIS SB will be a separate solicitation set aside specifically for all small businesses, maximizing opportunities to do business with the federal government.
We see a clear benefit to OASIS but there are underlying myths and questions about this program that remain. The following is our response to these myths and clarifications to your questions. Click here for the rest of the article.
