The GSA's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) contract is becoming the top water cooler conversation around government agencies. This new program is designed for both small and large businesses properly registered in System for Award Management. The basic understanding of the OASIS Program is that businesses will be chosen to join pools according to their NAICS codes and industry. Each business in every pool will be given an opportunity to bid on a specific contract. What makes this new contracting program so great is that if their business is chosen they won't have to compete against the thousands of other businesses bidding on the same contract. They will only have to compete against 40 other registered government contractors in that OASIS contract pool.
Even though the program has not yet launched, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is already planning on awarding about $500 million in contracts over the next year through OASIS's small business contracting program. This will create many new opportunities for federal agencies and government contractors to connect and do business with one another.
The Air Force, among other government departments, divisions, and agencies, requires several professional services. The OASIS Program is continuing to discuss contract plans with Air Force officials and expects to sign into agreement a memorandum of understanding. This agreement will declare this contracting program as the main contract vehicle for services to the United States Air Force.
According to the GSA, the contract will be for a total of 10 years including indefinite-delivery and indefinite-quantity of professional services like management, engineering, logistics, and scientific services. The GSA is also speaking with other agencies that plan to use the OASIS program once it is released this month on July 24th. Jim Ghiloni, the Director of the GSA's OASIS Program was quoted, "If there is as much demand as we're hearing, this [OASIS] could take off, and I don't want to have to redo it in four years because we didn't anticipate success. We estimate billions of dollars on business flowing through the contract."
Businesses who are interested in this new program must first be registered properly in System for Award Management (SAM). This registration is often difficult for contractors, taking days or even weeks to be completed. Many businesses enter their information incorrectly, which can lead to problems and delays. To avoid these costly errors, many businesses choose to register through a third party registration firm like US Federal Contractor Registration (USFCR). USFCR is the world's largest third party registration firm, having helped thousands of both large and small businesses complete their SAM registration. USFCR also offers comprehensive marketing packages, which include a government-formatted website and Capability Statement distribution to purchasing officers. These marketing services help businesses better connect with federal agencies all across the nation.
