PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1. BACKGROUND

One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services – Small Business (OASIS SB) is designed to address agencies’ need for 

a full range of service requirements that integrate multiple professional service disciplines and ancillary services/products 

with the flexibility for all contract types and pricing at the task order level.

OASIS SB is a family of 7 separate Government-wide Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) task 

order contracts that span 29 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes and 6 NAICS Code Exceptions 

under the economic subsector 541, Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.

Each of the 7 separate MA-IDIQ task order contracts will be individually referred to as “Pools” within OASIS SB. This OASIS 

SB MA-IDIQ task order contract falls under Pool 6 in accordance with Section H.4.1.

The services to be provided under OASIS SB are intended to meet the professional service mission requirements of all 

Federal agencies, including all organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD) and National Security Community.

The scope of professional services underOASIS SB is defined in Section C.

B.1.1. Authority

The Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is specifically authorized to purchase supplies and nonpersonal services on behalf of other agencies under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act (40 U.S.C. 501).

The authority for the award and administration of OASIS SB and the delegation of authority for the award and administration of 

task orders under OASIS SB are defined in Section G.

Hereafter, the “OASIS SB Contracting Officer” will be referred to as the “OASIS SB CO” and the “Ordering Contracting Officer” 

at the task order level will be referred to as the “OCO”.

B.1.2. Economy Act

In accordance with FAR 17.502-2(b), the Economy Act does not apply to task orders awarded under OASIS SB under the 

authority of 40 U.S.C. 501.

B.1.3. Contract Type

OASIS SB is a family of Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) task order contracts for 

Government-wide professional service-based requirements which is available for use by all Federal agencies and other 

entities as listed in the current General Services Administration (GSA) Order, OGP 4800.2I, Eligibility to Use GSA Sources 

of Supply and Services.

OASIS SB allows for all contract types at the task order level (e.g., Cost-Reimbursement (all types), Fixed-Price (all types), 

Time-and-Materials, and Labor-Hour). Task orders may also combine more than one contract type (e.g., FFP/Cost, FFP/Labor 

Hour etc.). Additionally, task orders may include incentives, performance-based measures, multi-year or option periods, and 

commercial or non-commercial items.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

B.1.4. Minimum Guarantee and Maximum Ceiling

The minimum guarantee is $2,500 for each OASIS SB Contractor that does not obtain a task order award for the term of 

OASIS SB, including Option I, if exercised.

The minimum dollar limitation for an individual task ordermust exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR 

Subpart 2.101, as amended. There is no maximum dollar ceiling for each individual task order placed under OASIS SB. An 

unlimited number of task orders may be placed under OASIS SB for the term of OASIS SB, including Option I, if exercised.

There is no maximumdollar ceiling forOASIS SB, includingOption I, if exercised.

B.1.5. Contract Access Fee (CAF)

GSA operating costs associated with the management and administration of OASIS SB are recovered through a CAF. The 

CAF is a percentage of the total task order amount invoiced and the CAF percentage is set at the discretion of GSA. GSA 

maintains the unilateral right to change the percentage at any time. See Section G.3.1. for more details regarding CAF.

B.2. TASK ORDER PRICING

OASIS SB provides all Federal agencies the flexibility to determine fair and reasonable pricing tailored to the ordering 

agency’s requirement dependent upon level of competition, risk, uncertainties, complexity, urgency, and contract type. The 

OCO has the authority and responsibility for the determination of cost or price reasonableness for their agency’s task order 

requirements. Adequate price competition at the task order level, in response to an individual requirement, establishes the 

most accurate, fair, and reasonable pricing for that requirement.

The OCO must identify the applicable contract type for all CLINs in each OASIS SB task order.

B.2.1. Standardized Labor Categories

OASIS SB provides standardized labor categories that correspond to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB)

Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) maintains compensation data.

In accordance with Section J.1., Attachment (1), all of the OASIS SB standardized labor categories are either an individual 

labor category that is mapped to a single SOC and functional description or a labor category group that is mapped to multiple 

SOC Numbers and functional descriptions. The OASIS SB labor category groups were established based upon BLS 

published data regarding similar direct labor compensation within a grouping of multiple SOC numbers and functional 

descriptions.

The OCO must specifically state in the task order solicitation if the standardized labor categories in Section J.1., Attachment

(1) apply or do not apply. OCOs will be trained by GSA in the use of the SOC direct labor pricing estimates for their task order 

requirements, which incorporates pricing considerations for over 640 metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas in the CONUS 

and US territories.

The Contractor shall become proficient in the use of the BLS SOC system in preparation for submitting cost/price 

proposals under task order solicitations that require standardized labor category submissions in accordance with Section 

J.1., Attachment (1).

For each SOC, the BLS provides a National 50th Percentile estimate, a National 75th Percentile estimate, and a National 

90th Percentile estimate. Also identified are the states where each occupation is paid the highest. While not identified on the 

BLS website, the BLS provides a 50thPercentile estimate, a 75thPercentile estimate, and a 90th Percentile estimate for each 

SOC in each state, metropolitan, and non-metropolitan area in the United States. This information will be incorporated into a 

labor estimating tool to be provided to OCOs and Contractors on the official GSA OASIS SB webpage at 

http://www.gsa.gov/oasis.

Except for ancillary labor as defined under Section B.3., when responding to a request for proposal under task order 

solicitations, regardless of contract type, the Contractor may be required by the OCO to identify both Prime and Subcontractor 

labor using the OASIS SB Labor Categories and corresponding SOC Number that applies. The Contractor may deviate from 

the Junior, Journeyman, Senior, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) definitions in Section J.1., as long as the Contractor clearly 

identifies the deviation in their proposals. Additionally, the following qualification substitution chart applies:

B.2.2. Fixed Price Task Orders

Fixed price is defined under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.2, Fixed-Price Contracts, and other applicable 

agency-specific regulatory supplements.

B.2.3. Cost Reimbursement TaskOrders

Cost Reimbursement is defined under FAR Subpart 16.3, Cost-Reimbursement Contracts, and other applicable agencyspecific regulatory supplements.

The Contractor shall have andmaintain an acceptable accounting system that will permit timely development of all necessary 

cost data in the form required by the proposed contract type.

The Contractor may be required to submit a cost proposal with supporting information for each cost element, including, but not 

limited to, direct labor, fringe benefits, overhead, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, facilities capital cost of money, 

other direct costs, and fee consistent with their cost accounting system, provisional billing rates, and forward pricing rate

agreements.

Cost Reimbursement task orders shall only be used for the acquisition of non-commercial items.

B.2.4. Incentive Task Orders

Incentives are defined under FAR Subpart 16.4, Incentive Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory 

supplements.

B.2.5. T&Mand L-H Task Orders

Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) is defined under FAR Subpart 16.6, T&Mand L-H Contracts, and other 

applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.

The Contractor may provide separate and/or blended loaded hourly labor rates for prime Contractor labor, each 

Subcontractor, and/or each Division, Subsidiary, or Affiliate in accordance with the provisions set forth in FAR 52.216-29, 

DFARs 252.216-7002, FAR 52.216-30, or FAR 52.216-31. The OCO must identify which provision is applicable in the task 

order solicitation and the Contractor must comply with the provision.

T&Mand L-H task orders require labor categories and their associated rates to be identified in the task order award document.

Ancillary subcontract labor shall be proposed and awarded as Materials in accordance with FAR 52.232-7, Payments under 

Time-and-Materials and Labor-Hour Contracts.

B.2.5.1. Ceiling Rates for T&Mand L-H TaskOrders

When preparing solicitations for T&M and/or L-H task order Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs), the OCO must select one of 

the following provisions in the task order solicitation.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

9

1. FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition 

with Adequate Price Competition

2. FAR 52.216-30 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition 

Without Adequate Price Competition

3. FAR 52.216-31 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Commercial Item Acquisition

For organizations within DoD, when selecting FAR 52.216-29, the OCO must also select DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A.

When the provision FAR 52.216-30,Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Non Commercial Item 

Acquisitions Without Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal 

Requirements--Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is an exception to fair opportunity, OASIS SB establishes 

maximumallowable labor rates in the formof fully burdened ceiling rates for all professional, non-ancillary, CONUS, T&M/L-H 

labor for both Government and Contractor Sites. Based on the specific task order requirements, the OCO is authorized to 

exceed the OASIS SB ceiling rates for those labor categories that include Secret/Top Secret/SCI labor and/or OCONUS 

locations, if necessary.

The ceiling rates do not apply when the provision FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—

Non-Commercial Item Acquisition with Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-29 with DFARs 252.216-7002, 

Alternate A, is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements-Commercial Item 

Acquisition is selected and there is not an exception to fair opportunity.

The fully burdened T&M ceiling rates awarded at initial contract award shall serve as the basis for all future year pricing for 

those ceiling rates. In order to determine future year ceiling rate pricing, the originally awarded rates will have an escalation 

factor applied. This escalation factor will be the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Economic Cost Index (ECI) 

for the previous three years. In Year 5 of OASIS SB, if the average annual ECI for the previous three years is higher than at 

time of OASIS SB award, the ceiling rates for Years 6 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase. 

For example, if the BLS ECI index was 2.23% at time of proposal submission and the BLS ECI index is 3.16% in Year 5 of 

OASIS SB, the ceiling rates for years 6 through 15 will be adjusted by 0.93% per year on a cumulative basis. If BLS ECI index 

in Year 5 of OASIS SB is equal to or below the BLS ECI index at time of award, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged.

In Year 10 of OASIS SB, if the previous three-year average annual BLS ECI index for the previous three years is higher than 

Year 5 of OASIS SB, the ceiling rates for Years 11 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase in 

accordance with the example above. If the average index in Year 10 is equal to or below the average index in Year 5, the 

ceiling rates will remain unchanged.

The OASIS SB ceiling rates that are in effect at the time a task order is awarded shall remain with the task order award during 

the entire term of the task order, including task orders with option periods.

See Section F.3., Period of Performance, for OASIS SB and task orders awarded under OASIS SB.

B.3. ANCILLARY SUPPORT

Ancillary support, integral and necessary as part of a total integrated solution within the scope of OASIS SB for which there is 

not a labor category specified in OASIS SB or includes other direct costs such as travel, materials, equipment,

Subcontractors, etc., to obtain a total professional service solution, are allowable costs andmay be included within an 

individual task order under OASIS SB.

Ancillary support may be either:

(1) "Ancillary-In-Scope," meeting the definition of an employee employed in a bona fide professional capacity contained in

29 CFR 541, Subpart D or Other Direct Costs as described above, OR

(2) "Ancillary-Out-of-Scope," as described in sectionC.4.

B.3.1. Specialized Professional Services Labor

Specialized professional services labor is defined as bona fide executive, administrative, or professional skills for which the 

expertise required, or duties performed are within the scope of OASIS SB but, are so specialized that they are not explicitly

defined in any labor category description in Section J.1., Attachment (1). The Contractor may propose specialized professional 

services labor when proposing “Ancillary-In-Scope” support as defined in Section B.3; however, the OCO will determine 

whether circumstances merit the use of specialized professional skills. Whenever possible, this specialized professional labor 

shall be mapped to the BLS SOC.

If the use of specialized professional services labor becomes frequent, additional labor categories and their associated ceiling 

rates may be added by bilateral modification to OASIS SB.

B.3.2. Construction Wage Rate Requirements

To the extent that any ancillary labor for construction, alteration and repair are within the scope of OASIS SB and subject to 

the construction wage rate requirements in accordance with FAR Subpart 22.4 and other applicable agency specific regulatory 

supplements, the OCO must identify such work in the task order solicitation and make a determination as to whether wage 

determinations are to be applied or not.

OASIS SB does not include clauses applicable to any construction, alteration, or repair work that is part of a total 

solution within the scope of OASIS SB. The OCO must incorporate the appropriate clauses and provisions in each task 

order solicitation and subsequent award when construction wage rate requirements apply.

B.3.3. Service Contract LaborStandards

The OASIS SB labor categories, identified in Section J.1., are considered bona fide executive, administrative, and professional 

labor that are exempt from the service contract labor standards.

To the extent that any ancillary labor for services is within the scope of OASIS SB and subject to the service contract labor

standards in accordance with FAR Subpart 22.10 and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements, the OCO must 

identify such work in the task order solicitation and make a determination as to whether service contract wage determinations 

are to be applied or not.

OASIS SB does not include clauses applicable to any service contract labor standards that are part of a total solution within 

the scope of OASIS SB. The OCO must incorporate the appropriate clauses and provisions in each task order solicitation and 

subsequent award when service contract labor standards apply.

B.3.4. Labor outside the Continental United States(OCONUS)

“OCONUS” is defined as other than the 48 contiguous states plus the District of Columbia. It is anticipated that there may be 

task orders for work OCONUS.

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Administration Office of Allowances, publishes quarterly report indexes of living 

costs abroad, per-diem rate maximums, quarter’s allowances, hardship differentials, and danger pay allowances.

The Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) is the controlling regulations for allowances and benefits 

available to all U.S. Government civilians assigned to foreign areas. For task orders issued under OASIS SB, Contractor 

civilians assigned to foreign areas may receive the allowances and benefits in the DSSR but, shall not receive allowance and 

benefits in excess of those identified in the DSSR.

For OCONUS task orders where costs are not specifically addressed in the DSSR, the Government will reimburse

the Contractor for all reasonable, allowable, and allocable costs in accordance with FAR 31, Contract Cost Principles 

and Procedures, and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements.

B.3.5. Travel

Travel costs may be firm fixed price or reimbursed at actual cost in accordance with the limitations set forth in FAR 31.205-46 

and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements. Unless otherwise directed by task order terms and conditions, 

the Contractor may apply indirect costs to travel consistent with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices.

B.3.6. Materials and Equipment

Material means property that may be consumed or expended during performance, component parts of a higher assembly, 

or items that lose their individual identity through incorporation into an end item. Equipment means a tangible item that is 

functionally complete for its intended purpose, durable, nonexpendable, and needed for performance.

Materials and Equipment shall be priced in accordance with the terms of the task order award, contract type, and applicable FAR 

and agency-specific regulatory supplements. Unless otherwise directed by task order terms and conditions, the Contractor may 

apply indirect costs to materials and equipment consistent with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices.

B.3.7. Subcontracting

C.3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Information Technology (IT), by legal definition, means any equipment, or interconnected system(s) or subsystem(s) of 

equipment that is used for the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, 

control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information by the agency. For purposes of this 

definition, equipment is used by an agency if the equipment is used by the agency directly or is used by a Contractor under a 

contract with the agency that require its use, or to a significant extent, its use in the performance of a service or the furnishing 

of a product.

IT is considered an ancillary support service or product on OASIS SB task orders and may be performed only when the 

service or product is integral and necessary to complete a total integrated solution under a professional service-based 

requirement within the scope of OASIS SB.

“Non-IT” includes any service or equipment that is acquired by a Contractor incidental to a contract or contains imbedded IT 

that is used as an integral part of the service or product, but the principal function of which is not the acquisition, storage, 

analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or 

reception of data or information. (For example, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment, such as 

thermostats or temperature control devices, and medical equipment where IT is integral to its operation, is non-IT).

Non-IT also includes any equipment or services related to a National Security System. The term “National Security System” 

means a telecommunications or information system operated by the Federal Government, the function, operation, or use of 

which involves intelligence activities, cryptologic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces, 

equipment that is an integral part of a weapon or weapons system; or, is critical to the direct fulfillment of military or 

intelligence missions, not including a system to be used for routine administrative and business applications (including payroll, 

finance, logistics, and personnel management applications).

Non-IT may include imbedded IT components including software, IT hardware, and other items and services traditionally 

considered IT on IT requirements.

Non-IT professional services are not considered ancillary support services. Non-IT professional services are considered to be 

within the primary scope of OASIS SB.

C.4. ANCILLARY OUT-OF-SCOPE SUPPORT SERVICES

“Ancillary Out-of-Scope” support services are defined as services not within the scope of OASIS SB that are integral and 

necessary to complete a total integrated solution under a professional service-based requirement within the scope of OASIS 

SB.

Ancillary Out-of-Scope support services may include but are not limited to other professional and/or non-professional 

services; commercial and/or non-commercial items; IT services and/or components, administrative support; data entry; and, 

subject matter expertise.

The OCO may allow and the Contractor may propose a labor category or labor categories at the task order level not identified 

in Section J.1., provided that the Contractor complies with all applicable contract clauses and labor laws, including the Service 

Contract Labor Standards or Construction Wage Rate Requirements, if applicable.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

19

C.4.1. Ancillary Support Services for InformationTechnology

When providing ancillary support for IT services and/or components, the Contractor shall promote IT initiatives and best 

practices that support Federal Government operational requirements for standardized technology and application service 

components. This shall facilitate integration requirements for broad Federal IT and E-Gov initiatives, as well as promote the 

sharing, consolidation, and re-use of business processes and systems across the Federal Government. The Contractor shall 

promote the use of open-source solutions and open technology development where practicable to enable this re-use.

C.5. SERVICES NOT IN SCOPE

The OCO shall not issue a task order and a Contractor shall not accept or perform work for the following services when the 

predominant task order scope of work* is:

1. An “Ancillary-Out-of-Scope” support service as defined in SectionC.4.

2. A requirement that does not include substantive effort by employees performing in a bona fide executive, 

administrative, or professional capacity as defined in 29 CFR Part 541. A requirement that utilizes a significant 

number of employees primarily employed as labor or mechanics as defined in FAR Subpart 22.401 (i.e., Service 

Contract Labor Standards employees) may indicate that the requirement is not consistent with the scope of 

Section C.2. However, provided the requirement is within scope of Section C.2. and any amount of SCLS labor 

needed is necessary and integral to support the Professional Services (29 CFR Part 541) requirement, such SCLS 

labor usage is permitted and considered within scope ofOASIS.

3. Inherently Governmental Functions as defined in FAR Subpart 2.101

4. Personal Services as defined in FAR Subpart 2.101

5. Architect & Engineering (A&E) Services as defined in FAR Subpart 2.101 and subject to the Brooks ArchitectEngineers Act (40 U.S.C. 1102)

*Please note “scope of work” does not directly correlate to labor mix/breakdown. Scope of work instead refers to the principle

purpose or objective of the work required under the task order.

G.3.3. Subcontracting Plan

Subcontracting Plans are not required for small business concerns; however, Contractors who chose to submit a Small 

Business Subcontracting Plan with their initial proposal, shall comply with their Subcontracting Plan and Subcontracting Plan

business (SDB), women-owned business (WOSB), HUBZone small business (HUBZone), veteran-owned small business 

(VOSB), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), are provided themaximum practicable opportunity to 

participate as Subcontractors.

The Subcontracting Plan covers the OASIS SB program as whole, however, the Contractor shall submit Individual 

Subcontract Reports (ISR) or the SF 294 Report and Summary Subcontract Reports (SSR) or the SF 295 Report per each

individual Pool the Contractor has a contract award.

Affiliates of the Prime Contractor or Subcontractor are not included in these reports. Subcontract award data reported by 

Prime Contractors and Subcontractors shall be limited to awards made to their immediate next-tier Subcontractors.

Contractors are required to adhere to their Subcontracting Plan, incorporated into the basic contract by reference. When a 

Contractor does not meet any one or more of their Subcontracting Goals for a given reporting period, the Contractor shall 

explain, in writing, the rationale for not meeting the goals in the comments section of the ISR or SF 294.

G.3.4. Past Performance

Past performance information is relevant information, for future source selection purposes, regarding a Contractor’s actions 

under a previously awarded contract. It includes, for example, the Contractor’s record of conforming to contract requirements 

and to standards of good workmanship; record of forecasting and controlling costs; adherence to contract schedules, including 

the administrative aspects of performance; history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer 

satisfaction; reporting into required databases; record of integrity and business ethics; and business-like concern for the 

interest of the customer.

The OASIS Program Office requires use of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) modules as 

the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process for task orders awarded 

under OASIS SB. However, if a customer agency requires an alternative past performance assessment reporting system for a 

specific task order(s) other than CPARS, the alternative reporting system takes precedence over CPARS.

The COCM will serve as a primary contact and who will be authorized access to the evaluation for review and comment for 

OASIS SB and task orders awarded under OASIS SB. The COCM shall respond promptly to past performance evaluations as 

documented by the OCO at the task order level and the OASIS SB CO for OASIS SB.

In addition, the COCM will be required to identify an alternate contact that will be responsible for notifying the OASIS SB CO in 

the event the primary contact is unavailable to process evaluations within the required 30-day time frame.

G.3.4.1. Contractor Self-Assessment

For the annual reporting period of June 20th through June 19th, the Contractor shall provide the OASIS SB Contracting Officer 

a self-assessment on the contractual requirements herein.

The purpose of the self-assessment is to support the OASIS SB Contracting Officer in monitoring Contractor’s performance 

standards and compliances outlined in Sections F.4 through F.4.2. of this contract. Self-assessments will be used to resolve 

any performance or compliance weaknesses, if necessary.

The OASIS SB Contracting Officer will provide a standardized template to the COCM for submitting the self-assessment 

content and format. The self-assessment report is due August 31st for the preceding reporting period.

G.3.4.2. Task Order CPARS

The OASIS SB CO does not administer or evaluate task order performance. It is the sole responsibility of Federal customer 

agencies to evaluate each task order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold under OASIS SB using the process and 

criteria in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or alternative past performance assessment
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

35

reporting system. OCOs and customer agencies must use CPARS for task orders awarded under OASIS SB unless otherwise 

mandated by the customer agency to utilize past performance systems other than CPARS.

At a minimum, the OCO will be responsible for evaluating final Contractor performance upon task order completion. 

Interimperformance evaluations may be conducted as prescribed by the customer agency’s procedures on any task order 

with a period of performance exceeding one year.

Evaluations of Contractor performance will be provided to the Contractor as soon as practicable after completion of the 

evaluation. Contractors will be given a minimum of 30 days to submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional 

information.

Copies of the evaluations, Contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the task order file, 

and may be used by Federal agencies to support future award decisions.

G.3.5. Insurance

The insurance coverage specified in FAR Subpart 28.3, Insurance, is theminimum insurance requirement for OASIS SB. 

Insurance coverage applies to the OASIS program as a whole (e.g. this requirement is cumulative across Pool(s) the 

Contractor has been awarded OASIS contracts under).

The OCO may require additional insurance coverage or higher limits specific to a task order awarded under OASIS SB. If the 

task order does not specify any insurance coverage amounts, the minimum insurance requirements in FAR Subpart 28.3 shall 

apply to the task order. OCOs must tailor insurance coverage clauses, provisions, and other applicable terms and conditions 

specific to each task order’s contract type, solicitation, and award.

The Contractor must maintain the minimum insurance coverage for the entire term of OASIS SB. The Contractor shall notify 

the OASIS SB CO and designated OCO for affected task orders, in writing, if there are any changes in the status of their 

insurance coverage and provide the reasons for the change and copies of ACORD Form, Certificate of Liability Insurance, as 

applicable.

The OASIS SB CO will maintain a record of each OASIS SB Contractor’s status of insurance coverage for the OCO. Only 

those Contractors that meet the insurance coverage requirements on task order solicitations shall be eligible to compete.

G.3.6. Mergers, Acquisitions, Novation’s, and Change-Of-NameAgreements

If a Contractormerges, is acquired, or recognizes a successor in interest to Government contracts when Contractor assets are 

transferred; or, recognizes a change in a Contractor’s name; or, executes novation agreements and change-of-name 

agreements by a CO other than the OASIS SB CO, the Contractor must notify the OASIS SB CO and provide a copy of the 

novation or other any other agreement that changes the status of the Contractor. This notification, if applicable, applies once 

to the OASIS CO and not for each Pool the Contractor has an award under.

All novation packages shall be submitted to oasismods@gsa.gov, and soft/electronic copies are required. Hard copies are not

required, unless otherwise directed by the responsible contracting officer. [NOTE: The requirement at 42.1204(e) “...to submit

three signed copies...” is considered to be met by submission of a complete electronic/soft copy Novation file, which the CO will

replicate and share as appropriate to facilitate review and approval of the package.]

G.3.7. Responsibility and FAPIIS

The Contractor shall maintain sufficient resources andmeet the responsibility standards and Contractor qualifications set forth 

in FAR Part 9, Contractor Qualifications, to continue performance under the OASIS program.

Subject to FAR 52.209-9, Updates of Publicly Available Information Regarding Responsibility Matters, the Contractor shall 

update the information in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) on a semi-annual 

basis, throughout the term of OASIS SB, by posting the required information in the System for Award Management (SAM)

The Contractor shall make the re-representation by validating and updating all its representations in the Representations and 

Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that 

they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall also notify the OASIS SB Contracting Officer in writing, within 

the timeframes specified above.

Novation Agreements orMergers or Acquisitions that do not require a Novation:

After the execution of a novation agreement or, after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation, if the 

Contractor’s size standard changes from a small business concern to other than a small business concern and the Contractor 

has active task orders, including the exercise of options and modifications at the task order level, the Contractor shall be 

placed in Dormant Status immediately in accordance with Section H.16. After all the active task orders are closed out, the 

Contractor shall be Off Ramped in accordance with Section H.17. Furthermore, if a Contractor’s size standard changes from 

a small business concern to other than a small business concern after a novation agreement or, after a merger or acquisition 

that does not require a novation, the Contractor shall not be eligible for Lateral Pool Ramping in accordance with Section

H.15.1. or Vertical Contract On-Ramping in accordance with Section H.15.2. After the execution of a novation agreement or,

OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

37

exercise of options and modifications at the task order level, the Contractor shall continue performance of active task orders, 

but not have their OASIS SB Option exercised. However, the Contractor may be eligible for Lateral Pool Ramping in 

accordance with Section H.15.1. or Vertical Contact On-Ramping in accordance with Section H.15.2.

Upon re-certification at the end of the fifth year of this contract, if the Contractor’s size standard remains a small business 

concern and the Contractor’s Option Determination is determined justifiable by the OASIS SB Contracting Officer in 

accordance with Section G.5., the Contractor’s Option I will be exercised and the Contractor will remain a small business 

concern under the Pool(s) that correspond to the Contractor’s respective OASIS SB Multiple Award Contract Number(s) 

for the remaining period of performance of the contract.

G.4. OASIS SB AND TASK ORDERCLOSE-OUTS

OASIS SB contracts will be closed out upon the close-out of all task orders awarded under OASIS SB and all CAF fees 

submitted.

The OCO is responsible for closing out their task orders under OASIS SB. Task order close-out will be accomplished within 

the procedures set forth in FAR Part 4, Administrative Matters, and FAR Part 42, Contract Administration and Audit Services, 

and other agency specific regulatory supplements.

The OCO is encouraged to utilize FAR Subpart 42.708, Quick-Closeout Procedures, to the maximum extent practicable. The 

OCO has the authority to negotiate settlement of indirect costs in advance of the determination of final indirect cost rates if the 

task order is physically complete and the amount of unsettled indirect cost to be allocated to the task order is relatively 

insignificant. A determination of final indirect costs under quick-closeout procedures shall be final for the task order it covers 

and no adjustment shall be made to other task orders for over-or under-recoveries of costs allocated or allocable to the task 

order covered by the agreement. Once agreement for quick closeout is reached on an individual task order, a bilateral 

modification will be issued to close out the task order.

The Contractor agrees to cooperate with the OCO to close out task orders as soon as practical after expiration, cancellation, 

or termination. The Contractor must report all task order close outs in the CPRM (See Section G.3.2.5.).

G.5. OPTIONDETERMINATION

After the initial contract term of 5 years, OASIS SB has included an option to extend the term of the contract in order to 

demonstrate the value it places on quality performance by providing a mechanism for continuing a contractual relationship 

with a successful Contractor that performs at a level which meets or exceeds GSA’s quality performance expectations.

In recognition of exceptional contract and task order performance of a particular Contractor during their initial 5 year term of 

performance, the Government will consider exercising a Contractor’s Option I, for an additional 5 year term of performance.

The option determination for each Contractor will be based on FAR Subpart 17.207 for exercising the option term; the overall 

quality of the Contractor’s past performance under OASIS SB and task orders awarded against OASIS; meeting the 

deliverable and compliance standards; and maintaining a strategic partnership between the OASIS SB Contractors, GSA 

personnel, and Federal customers to identify and achieve reciprocal goals.

Agile Task Order and Contract Administration Systems, Process and/or Procedures Changes

During the life of this contract there may be changes necessary to improve and enhance contract administration, data

reporting, data management and overall contract performance. Such changes may occur, but are not limited to systems,

processes and/or procedures utilized to administer the OASIS Program and the OASIS contracts. All OASIS prime

contractors, whether in active or dormant status, must comply and utilize all systems, processes and procedures as directed

by the OASIS contracting officer(s) throughout the life of the contract, and the active period of performance of all task orders

issued under an OASIS contract. Directions may not always come in the form of a modification and may be provided via email

or via letter from a contracting officer. Contractors will be provided a reasonable transition time for any newly required

systems, processes or procedures. Reasonable transition time will be determined by the circumstances created by the

change and will vary on a case by case basis.

H.3.1. Set-Asides Based on Socio-EconomicGroup

OASIS Small Business (SB) is a total small business set-aside contract. All orders issued under OASIS SB are

automatically considered set-aside for small business as only small businesses were awarded an OASIS SB contract.

All OASIS SB Contractors’ size/socioeconomic status remains unchanged in each of their OASIS SB contracts unless

modified by a FAR 52.219-28 representation.

Unless the order solicitation explicitly requires size/socioeconomic re-certification at the order level, the ordering contracting

officer shall rely on the size/socioeconomic status shown in the OASIS SB Contractor list available for download here:

https://www.gsa.gov/oasis.

Section M.3 of the OASIS SB solicitation reserved award for at least three HUBZone Small Businesses, three Service

Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), three Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB), three

Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). To accommodate 8(a) procurements, 8(a)

sub pool contracts were separately awarded. The OASIS SB contracts cannot be utilized to make 8(a) direct or

competitive awards.

The ordering contracting officer has discretionary authority via 15 USC 644(r)(2) to further set-aside orders based on socioeconomic groups when it is anticipated that offers will be obtained from at least two small business concerns within a

specific socio-economic group.

There is not currently the ability for any directed (e.g. sole source SDVOSB) socioeconomic orders as that authority is

excluded in the FAR (e.g. FAR 19.1404(b)).

In accordance with 15 USC 644(r)(2), the socio-economic groups eligible for competitive set-asides are identified as

follows:

1.HUBZone small business concerns

2. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB)concerns

3.** Economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) concerns eligible under the Women- owned

Small Business Program and Repository

4.** Women-owned small business (WOSB) concerns eligible under the WOSB Program and Repository

** EDWOSB and WOSB competitive set-asides are subject to specific North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS) industry groups in which EDWOSBs and WOSBs are underrepresented. The eligible NAICS Codes for EDWOSB

and WOSB set asides are subject to change by the SBA. See https://www.sba.gov/wosb for the updated list of NAICS

Codes to determine OASIS SB Pool NAICS availability for EDWOSB or WOSB set asides.

[End of the Section]

H.4. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM(NAICS)

The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB's) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is a coding 

system for classifying where services are performed by type of economic activity in order to analyze economic data and 

promote uniformity in describing the economy.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) assigns a business size standard to each NAICS code, which is usually stated in 

number of employees or average annual receipts, to represent the largest size that a business (including its subsidiaries and 

affiliates) may be to remain classified as a small business by the SBA in order to qualify for small business socio-economic 

programs.

NAICS Codes and small business size standards are periodically updated and revised by SBA. If SBA revises NAICS Code(s) 

and small business size standard(s) that are within the scope of OASIS SB during the term of OASIS SB, the OASIS SB CO 

may need to update the OASIS SB MA-IDIQ task order contracts to reflect the updated NAICS Code(s) and small business 

size standards(s).
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

40

H.4.1. Pool 6 NAICS Codes

All NAICS Codes associated to this contract are grouped under the small business size standard of 1,500 Employee 

Business Size and identified in Section H.4.2.

H.4.2. Predominant Task Order NAICS Determination

The OCO has the responsibility to determine which predominant NAICS code applies to a task order solicitation, whether or 

not the task order is unrestricted or set-aside, including the type of socio-economic set-aside if applicable, and whether or not 

the solicitation is sole-source or competitive. If the solicitation could be classified in two or more NAICS codes with the same 

or different size standard, the OCO shall only apply the OASIS SB Pool 6 NAICS code and corresponding size standard for 

the industry accounting for the greatest percentage of anticipated task order price/cost.

Under this contract, the OCOmust identify a predominant OASIS SB Pool 6 NAICS Code and 1,500 Employee Business 

Size Standard from the table below in the task order solicitation.

The OCO must provide fair opportunity to all Contractors under OASIS SB Pool 6 for solicitation purposes, unless an 

exception to fair opportunity under OASIS SB Pool 6 has been properly executed. Ordering Procedures at FAR 16.505 

apply.

Only OASIS SB Pool 6 NAICS Codes are eligible to be selected as the predominant NAICS Code for task orders 

solicited under this contract and only OASIS SB Pool 6 Contractors are eligible to receive solicitations and task

H.5. PRODUCT SERVICE CODES (PSC)

The PSC represents what products, services, and/or research and development (R&D) was purchased by the 

Federal Government for each task order award reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

The scope of OASIS SB spans across many PSCs, however, the primary PSC selected must be based on the predominant 

service that is being purchased.

The CPRM reporting system facilitates compliance with proper PSC reporting for all federal agencies, including DoD’s 

taxonomy for the acquisition of services that maps PSCs into 6 separate Portfolio Groups, such as, Knowledge Based 

Services; Facility Related Services; Transportation Services;Medical Services, Electronics & Communication Services; and 

Equipment Related Services.

The OCO must identify the PSC in the task order solicitation and report the PSC in the Federal Procurement Data 

System (FPDS).

The Contractor shall enter the PSC in CPRM for each task order award.

H.6. SYSTEMS, CERTIFICATIONS, ANDCLEARANCES

Acceptable Accounting Systems are mandatory for all Contractors on OASIS SB. All other Systems, Certifications, and

appraisals from a CMMI Instituted Certified Lead Appraiser, as applicable. If only part of a Contractor’s organization is CMMI 

certified, the Contractor shallmake the distinction between which business units or sites and geographic locations have been 

certified.

H.6.12. Meaningful Relationship CommitmentLetters

If applicable, Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letter(s) (MRCL) establishes the relationship and commitments of 

performance for Contractors who share Systems, Certifications, and Clearances from other affiliates, divisions, or 

subsidiaries within a Contractor’s internal corporate structure.

If applicable, the Contractor must maintain and honor eachMRCL for the entire term of OASIS SB. The Contractor shall 

notify the OASIS SB CO, in writing, if there are any changes in the status of their internal corporate relationships or 

commitments and provide the reasons for the change.

If applicable, the Contractor’s MRCLs are incorporated by reference into the OASIS SB contract and the OASIS Program 

Office will provide MRCLs for the OCO upon request.

H.7. SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

The OCO must tailor security requirements (both facility and employee), clauses, provisions, and other applicable terms 

and conditions specific to each task order’s solicitation and award.

Only those Contractors that meet the required security clearance levels on individual task order solicitations are eligible 

to compete for such task orders.

In general, all necessary facility and employee security clearances shall be at the expense of the Contractor. In some cases, 

Government offices that conduct background investigations do not have a means for accepting direct compensation from 

Contractors and instead charge customer agencies for the background investigations. In these cases, the Contractor shall be 

flexible in establishing ways of reimbursing the Government for these expenses. The individual task order should specify the 

terms and conditions for reimbursement, if any, for obtaining security clearances. The Contractor shall comply with all security 

requirements in task orders awarded under OASIS SB.

H.7.1. Facility Clearance Level

A facility clearance level (FCL) is when a Contractor’s facility is eligible for access to classified information at the Confidential, 

Secret, or Top-Secret level. The FCL includes the execution of a Department of Defense (DoD) Security Agreement (DD Form 

441 and DD Form 441-1) and Certificate Pertaining to Foreign Interests (SF 328).

Under the terms of a FCL agreement, the Government agrees to issue the FCL and inform the Contractor as to the security 

classification of information to which the Contractor will have access. The Contractor, in turn, agrees to abide by the security 

requirements set forth in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, commonly referred to as the NISPOM.

There are nomandatory levels of facility security clearance for Contractors under OASIS; however, task orders may 

require an FCL at any level, under OASIS SB.

The Contractor, at its own expense, must maintain their FCL by the Defense Security Service (DSS) for the entire term of 

OASIS SB. The Contractor shall notify the OASIS SB CO and designated OCO for affected task orders, in writing, if there are 

any changes in the status of their FCL and provide the reasons for the change. If only part of a Contractor’s organization has a 

FCL, the Contractor shall make the distinction between which business units or sites and geographic locations have a FCL.

Only those Contractors that meet a required FCL level on task order solicitations shall be eligible to compete.

H.7.2. Employee SecurityClearance

Security clearances for Contractor employees, including Subcontractor employees, may require Confidential, Secret, Top 

Secret, Agency-Specific Clearances, and/or Special Background Investigations for Sensitive Compartmented Information or 

Special Access Programs. In such cases, the Contractor, at its own expense, is responsible for providing and maintaining 

personnel with the appropriate security clearances to ensure compliance with Government security regulations, as specified 

in the individual task order.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

45

The Contractor shall fully cooperate on all security checks and investigations by furnishing requested information to verify the 

Contractor employee's trustworthiness and suitability for the position. Task orders containing classified work may also include 

a Contract Security Classification Specification, (i.e., DD Form 254 or civilian agency equivalent).

The Government has full and complete control over granting, denying, withholding or terminating security clearances 

for employees. The granting of a clearance shall not prevent, preclude, or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such 

clearance by the Government.

H.7.3. HSPD-12

When a Contractor or their Subcontractors are required to have physical access to a Federal controlled facility or access to a 

Federal information system, the Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification procedures in task orders 

that implement Homeland Security Presidential Directives-12 (HSPD-12).

H.8. SUSTAINABILITY

OASIS SB seeks to benefit from the use of sustainable management practices by Contractors including tracking and seeking 

continual reductions in energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, solid waste and hazardous waste, and 

other relevant environmental impacts and associated costs.

Use of these sustainable management practices results in lower environmental impacts of delivered products and services, 

helping customers meet sustainable acquisition requirements under Executive Order 13514: Federal Leadership in 

Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance, and its precursors, successors and related regulations.

Public disclosures of environmental impacts and sustainablemanagement practices have been associated with increased 

operational efficiency, lower overhead costs, and reduced supply chain and other business risks for disclosing companies.

Sustainability disclosures can help OASIS SB customers understand the major environmental impacts of procured products 

and services, familiarize themselves with the available strategies for reducing these impacts, and design projects and task 

order requirements which incorporate these strategies.

GSA encourages Contractors to provide the location(s) (Internet URL or URLs) of one or more sources of publicly available 

information regarding its company-wide environmental impacts and sustainable management practices (sustainability 

disclosures) on the Contractor’s OASIS SB webpage. In making sustainability disclosures, the Contractor is requested to 

utilize existing, widely recognized third-party sustainability reporting portals and services such as the Global Reporting 

Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Disclosure Database (database of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports) and the Carbon 

Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate Change and Water Disclosure Questionnaires. Additionally, it is strongly encouraged that 

all sustainability disclosures be kept up-to-date and accurate.

These sustainability-related standards, including estimates of the lifecycle costs and environmental impacts of proposed 

solutions, may apply at the task order level.

H.9. PROPRIETARY SOLUTIONS

Contractors are discouraged from proposing proprietary solutions in response to OASIS SB task order requirements that 

necessitate the Contractor’s proprietary process, system, maintenance, and/or solution that would prevent competition at a 

future point or require sustained and non-competitive support.

If a proprietary solution is proposed by a Contractor for a given task order requirement, the Contractor shall mark their 

proposal accordingly and make it clear to the OCO all limitations and costs associated with the solution.

H.10. LIMITATIONS ONSUBCONTRACTING

In performance of services awarded under OASIS SB, FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2019-06) will

be monitored and strictly enforced by the OASIS SB CO.

In performance of all task orders combined (not each task order unless required by the OCO for their individual task order) the

contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

46

that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 50

percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

This requirement applies for each Pool the Contractor has received an award under.

H.11. PARTNERING

GSA intends to encourage the foundation of a cohesive partnership between the OASIS SB Contractors, GSA OASIS SB 

personnel, and Federal agency customers to identify and achieve reciprocal goals, with effective and efficient customerfocused service, in accordance with the terms of the OASIS SB contract.

Failure to attend meetings, maintain a Contractor OASIS SB webpage, or otherwise not comply with this section may result in 

activation of Dormant Status and/or result in a Contractor being Off-Ramped (See Sections H.16. and H.17.).

H.11.1. Meetings

From time to time, the Government may require Contractor attendance, including the attendance of Contractor Key Personnel, 

at meetings at various locations.

Meetings may be via webcasting, in-person at a government facility, a commercial conference center, or a mutually agreedupon Contractor facility on a rotational basis, as determined by the Government. Follow-up meetings may be held periodically 

throughout the duration of OASIS SB in order to assess performance against the goals and to reinforce partnering principles.

GSA may require up to four OASIS SB Program Management Review (PMR) meetings per year. The goal of the PMR 

meetings is to provide a platform for OASIS SB Contractors, OASIS SB staff, and other agency representatives to 

communicate current issues, resolve potential problems, discuss business and marketing opportunities, review future and 

ongoingGSA and Government-wide initiatives, and addressOASIS SB fundamentals. Any Contractor costs associated to 

PMR Meetings shall be at no direct cost to the Government.

H.11.2. GSA OASIS SB Webpage

OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

48

H.13. ETHICS AND CONDUCT

Personal services are not authorized under OASIS SB. OASIS SB is strictly a non-personal services contract which means 

the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to 

the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

The Contractor and its employees must conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and honesty and adhere 

to the policies and procedures as specified in FAR Part 3 and GSAM Part 503 Improper Business Practices and Personal 

Conflicts of Interest.

Failure to adhere to proper ethics and conduct may result in activation of Dormant Status and/or result in a Contractor being 

Off-Ramped (Sections H.16. and H.17.).

H.13.1. Supervision

The Contactor shall not supervise, direct, or control the activities of Government personnel or the employee of any other 

Contractor under OASIS SB and the Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor in the 

performance of contractual services under OASIS SB. The Contractor is accountable to the Government for the actions of its 

personnel.

Contractor employees shall not represent themselves as Government employees, agents, or representatives or state orally or 

in writing at any time that they are acting on behalf of the Government.

In all communications with third parties in connection with OASIS SB, the Contractor must ensure that all Contractor 

employees identify themselves as Contractor employees and identify the name of the company for which they work and, 

must not carry out any direction that violates the terms and conditions of OASIS SB.

The Contactor shall ensure that all of its employees, including Subcontractor employees, working under OASIS SB are 

informed of the substance of this Section.

If the Contractor believes any action or communication has been given that would create a personal services relationship 

between the Government and any Contractor employee or any other potential supervision or duty violation, the Contractor 

must notify the OCO and OASIS SB CO immediately of this communication oration.

H.13.2. Conduct

The Contactor shall not discuss with unauthorized persons any information obtained in the performance of work under 

OASIS; conduct business other than that which is covered by OASIS SB during periods funded by the Government; conduct 

business not directly related to OASIS SB on Government premises; use Government computer systems and/or other 

Government facilities for company or personal business; recruit on Government premises; or otherwise act to disrupt official 

Government business.

The Contactor shall ensure that all of its employees, including Subcontractor employees, working under OASIS SB are 

informed of the substance of this clause.

If the Contractor believes any action or communication has been given that would create a business ethic or conduct violation, 

the Contractor must notify the OCO and OASIS SB CO immediately of this communication or action.

H.13.3. Conflicts ofInterest

The guidelines and procedures of FAR Subpart 9.5 and GSAM Subpart 509.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of 

Interest, and FAR Part 3 and GSAM Part 3, Improper Business Practices and Personal Conflicts of Interest, will be used in 

identifying and resolving any issues of a conflict of interest under OASIS SB. The FAR and other applicable agency specific 

regulatory supplements will govern task orders awarded under OASIS SB.

Assuming no real or potential conflict of interest, an OASIS SB Prime Contractor may be a Subcontractor to another Prime 

Contractor on task orders solicited and awarded under OASIS or OASIS SB; however, the OCOmay require that the Contractor
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

49

sign an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Statement in which the Contractor (and any Subcontractors or teaming 

partners) agree not to submit any proposal or provide any support to any firm which is submitting (as Prime or Subcontractor) 

any proposal for any solicitation resulting from the work on a specific task order under OASIS SB.

All Contractor personnel (to include Subcontractors and Consultants) who will be personally and substantially involved in the 

performance of any task order issued under OASIS SB which requires the Contractor to act on behalf of or provide advice 

with respect to any phase of an agency procurement shall execute and submit an “Employee/Contractor Non-Disclosure 

Agreement” Form. The OCO will provide the appropriate nondisclosure form specific to the procurement. This form shall be 

required prior to the commencement of any work on such task order and whenever replacement personnel are proposed 

under an ongoing task order.

The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying and preventing personal conflicts of interest of their employees. The 

Contractor shall prohibit employees who have access to non-public information by reason of performance on a Government 

contract from using that information for personal gain.

In the event that a task order requires activity that would create an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Contractor shall 

immediately notify the OCO of the conflict, submit a plan for mitigation, and not commence work until specifically notified by 

the OCO to proceed; or identify the conflict and recommend to the OCO an alternate approach to avoid the conflict.

The OCO or OASIS SB CO, if necessary, will review the information provided by the Contractor and make a determination 

whether to proceed with the task order and process a request for waiver, if necessary.

H.13.4. Cooperation with other Contractors on GovernmentSites

The Government may undertake or award other contracts or task orders for work at or in close proximity to the site of the 

work under OASIS SB. The Contractor shall fully cooperate with the other Contractors and with Government employees and 

shall carefully adapt scheduling and performing the work under OASIS SB to accommodate the working environment, 

heeding any direction that may be provided by the OCO. The Contractor shall not commit or permit any act that will interfere 

with the performance of work by any other Contractor or by Government employees.

H.14. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

For task orders awarded under OASIS SB, Government property matters shall follow the same policies and procedures for 

Government property under FAR Part 45, Government Property and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements.

FAR Part 45 does not apply to Government property that is incidental to the place of performance, when the task 

order requires Contractor personnel to be located on a Government site or installation, and when the property used by 

the Contractor within the location remains accountable to theGovernment.

Unless otherwise specified in a task order, the Contactor shall provide all office equipment and consumable supplies at the 

Contractor’s sole and exclusive expense, including computers/workstations used in daily operation in support of OASIS SB.

The OCO must tailor property clauses, provisions, and other applicable terms and conditions specific to each task 

order solicitation and award.

H.14.1. Leasing of Real and Personal Property

The Government contemplates that leases may be part of a task order solution offered by a Contractor, but the Government, 

where the Contractor’s solution includes leasing, must not be the Lessee. Under no circumstances on any task order awarded 

under OASIS SB shall the Government be deemed to have privity-of-contract with the Owner/Lessor of the Leased Items; or, 

the Government be held liable for early Termination/Cancellation damages if the Government decides not to exercise an 

option period under a task order unless the Contractor has specifically disclosed the amount of such damages (or the formula 

by which such damages would be calculated) as part of its proposal and the OCO for the task order has specifically 

approved/allowed such damages as part of the task order terms and conditions.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

H.14.2. Government Facilities

The Contactor shall arrange with the OCO or other designated representative for means of access to premises, delivery 

and storage of materials and equipment, use of approaches, use of corridors, stairways, elevators, and similar matters. A

Contractor working in a government facility shall be responsible for maintaining satisfactory standards of employee 

competency, conduct, appearance, and integrity and shall be responsible for taking disciplinary action with respect to their 

employees as necessary.

The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that their employees do not disturb papers on desks, open desk drawers or 

cabinets, or use Government telephones, except as authorized. Each employee is expected to adhere to standards of 

behavior that reflect favorably on their employer and the Federal Government.

The Contactor shall ensure that all of its employees, including Subcontractor employees, working under OASIS SB are 

informed of the substance of this clause.

H.14.3. Rights of Ingress and Egress

The rights of ingress to, and egress from, Government facilities for the Contractor's personnel must be specified in the task 

order. Specific federally controlled facilities or those areas located within a given facility may have additional security 

clearance requirements must be specified in the task order.

Contractor employees, including Subcontractor employees, shall have in their possession, at all times while working, the 

specificGovernment identification credential issued by theGovernment. The identification credential shall be displayed and 

be visible at all times while on Government property.

During all operations on Government premises, the Contractor's personnel shall comply with the rules and regulations 

governing the facility access policies and the conduct of personnel. The Government reserves the right to require Contractor 

personnel to "sign-in" upon entry and "sign-out" upon departure from the Government facilities.

The Contactor shall be responsible for ensuring that all identification credentials are returned to the issuing agency whenever 

contract employees leave the contract, when the task order has been completed, employees leave the company, or 

employees are dismissed or terminated. The Contractor shall notify the issuing agency whenever employee badges are lost.

H.15. ON-RAMPING

The total number of Contractors within any of the 7 OASIS SB Pools may fluctuate due to any number of reasons including 

but not limited to, competition levels on task orders, mergers & acquisitions; the Government's exercise of the off-ramp 

process; and OASIS SB Contractors outgrowing their small business size status under their existing OASIS SB Contract.

It is in the Government’s best interest that there remain an adequate number of Contractors eligible to compete for task orders 

in each OASIS SB Contract to meet the Government’s professional service mission requirements.

Contractors are hereby notified that utilization of any on-ramping procedure below does not obligate the Government to 

perform any other on-ramping procedure. Furthermore, any on-ramping proceduremay be performed for any single OASIS 

SB Pool at any time.

H.15.1. Lateral Pool Ramping

In accordance with Section G.3.10., Contractors underOASIS SB will be required to recertify their business size standard 

under their existing NAICS Pool(s).

For those OASIS SB Contractors who no longer certify as a small business for their respective Pool(s), the OASIS SB 

Contractor may elect to be considered for an OASIS SB Pool with a higher size standard if they qualify as a small business for 

that size standard and were not already included in that Pool.

Additionally, for those OASIS SB Contractors who now certify as a small business for other OASIS Pool(s) that they did not 

previously fit the size standard, the OASIS SB Contractor may elect to be considered for an OASIS SB Pool with a lower size 

standard if they qualify as a small business for that size standard and were not already included in that Pool.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

51

For example, if Contractor X in OASIS SB Pool 1 ($16.5M size standard) only has a contract in Pool 1 and no longer qualifies 

as a small business for that Pool after recertification, Contractor X may elect to be considered for Pools 2 through 6 assuming 

they can qualify as a small business for each of those respective Pools.

Example 2: Contractor X in OASIS SB Pool 2 ($22M size standard) experiences reduced business volume and now qualifies 

as a small business for Pool 1 after recertification. Contractor X may now elect to be considered for Pool 1 assuming they can 

qualify as a small business for that Pools.

In order to obtain a Lateral Pool Ramp, the Contractormust:

1. Have outgrown their Pool size standard on the basis of natural growth, not on the basis of a merger, acquisition or 

novation agreement in recognition of a successor in interest when Contractor assets are transferred during the term 

of OASIS SB OR certify as a lower size standard than originally proposed.

2. Qualify as a small business for the Pool(s) being applied for

3. Demonstrate successful performance under the OASIS SBcontract

4. Submit a proposal in response to a solicitation materially identical to the original version of the OASIS SB 

solicitation and,

5. Receive a proposal score equal to or higher than the lowest scoring Contractor within the Pool being applied for. Note: 

The lowest scoring Contractor is based on the lowest evaluated numerical score within a given Pool in accordance 

with the scoring table in Section M.6. of the OASIS SB solicitation at the time of the original OASIS Subawards.

The lateral Pool ramping solicitation will include the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original OASIS SB solicitation. 

The terms and conditions of the resulting award will be materially identical to the existing version of OASIS SB. The period of 

performance term will be coterminous with the existing term of all other OASIS SB Contractors.

Immediately upon lateral Pool ramping to OASIS SB, the Contractor is eligible to submit a proposal in response to any task 

order solicitation and receive task order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other Contractor within the new 

Pool(s); however, the Contractor will be placed on Dormant Status under the OASIS SB Pool(s) the Contractor is no longer 

eligible under (if applicable). The Contractor must continue performance on active task orders under their dormant OASIS 

SB Pool(s), including the exercise of options at the task order level at the discretion of the OCO, until all active task orders 

are closed-out.

The OASIS SB CO may conduct a lateral pool on-ramp without conducting any other on-ramp.

H.15.2. Vertical ContractOn-Ramping

The OASIS Program is a family of OASIS Pools and OASIS Small Business (SB) Pools with identical scopes. Each OASIS 

Pool is unrestricted, and each OASIS SB Pool is a 100% Small Business Set Aside contract.

For those OASIS SB Contractors who no longer certify as a small business for their respective OASIS SB Pool, the OASIS SB 

Contractor may elect to be considered to be placed on the corresponding OASIS unrestricted Pool. In order to be eligible to do 

this, the recertification as a large business of the company must not have been achieved on the basis of a merger or 

acquisition; or novation agreement in recognition of a successor in interest when Contractor assets are transferred during the 

term of OASIS SB.

For example, if Contractor X inOASIS SB Pool 1 ($16.5M size standard), can no longer certify as a small business under the

$16.5M size standard, Contractor X may elect to be considered for OASIS Pool 1 as a large business. 

In order to vertically on-ramp, the Contractor must:

1. Have outgrown their small business sized standard on the basis of natural growth, not on the basis of a merger, 

acquisition or novation agreement in recognition of a successor in interest when Contractor assets are transferred 

during the term of OASIS SB

2. Demonstrate successful performance under OASIS SB

3. Submit a proposal in response to a solicitation materially identical to the original version of the OASIS 

unrestricted solicitation

4. Meet all of the Pass/Fail Criteria of the original OASIS unrestricted solicitation and,

5. Receive a proposal score equal to or higher than the lowest scoring Contractor within the Pool being applied for. Note:
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

52

The lowest scoring Contractor is based on the lowest evaluated numerical score within a given OASIS Pool in 

accordance with the scoring table in Section M.6. of the OASIS unrestricted solicitation at the time of the original 

OASIS unrestricted Pools.

The vertical Pool on-ramping solicitation will include the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original OASIS 

unrestricted solicitation. The terms and conditions of the resulting award will be materially identical to the existing version of 

OASIS unrestricted. The period of performance term will be coterminous with the existing term of all other OASIS 

unrestricted Contractors.

Immediately upon vertical on-ramping to OASIS unrestricted, the Contractor is eligible to submit a proposal in response to 

any task order solicitation and receive task order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other Contractor; 

however, the Contractor will be placed on Dormant Status under their OASIS SB Pool. The Contractor must continue 

performance on active task orders under their dormant OASIS SB Pool, including the exercise of options at the task order 

level at the discretion of the OCO, until all active task orders are closed-out.

The OASIS SB COmay conduct a vertical pool on-ramp without conducting any other formof on-ramp.

H.15.3. Open SeasonOn-Ramping

GSA will determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate an open season to add additional 

Contractors to any of the OASIS SB Pools at any time, subject to the following conditions:

1. An open season notice is published in Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with FAR Part 5, 

Publicizing Contract Action

2. An open season solicitation is issued under current Federal procurement law

3. The solicitation identifies the total anticipated number of new contracts that GSA intends toward

4. Any Offeror that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the open season solicitation may submit a proposal 

in response to the solicitation

5. The award decision under the open season solicitation is based upon substantially the same evaluation 

factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation

6. An Offeror’s proposal must meet all of the Acceptability Pass/Fail Criteria of the original solicitation

7. If the intent of the on-ramp is to “replace” OASIS SB contractors acquired, merged, off-ramped, etc., an Offeror’s 

proposal must receive a proposal score equal to or higher than the lowest scoring Contractor within the OASIS SB 

Pool being applied for Note: The lowest scoring Contractor is based on the lowest evaluated numerical score within 

a given OASIS SB Pool in accordance with the scoring table in Section M.6. of the solicitation at the time of the 

original awards.

8. If the intent of the on ramp is to “add” OASIS SB contractors such as Sub Pool development or to increase the 

total number of contractors in a given pool beyond the original number of awards for competition purposes, a 

number of contracts to be added will be announced and the highest technically rated Offerors will receive those 

awards regardless of how their score compared to the original awardees.

9. The terms and conditions of any resulting awards arematerially identical to the existing version of the OASIS SB Pool 

and,

10.The period of performance term for any new awards is coterminous with the existing term for all other Contractors

Immediately upon on-ramping, the Contractor is eligible to submit a proposal in response to any task order solicitation and 

receive task order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other Contractor.

H.15.4. Focused On-Ramping (Sub PoolCreation)

GSA will determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate an open season to create a Sub Pool 

within established OASIS SB Pools. This may be done in response to client needs, competition levels, or other factors. For 

example, Pool 2 consists of 5 different NAICS codes. Over time, the OASIS Program Office notices that competition levels for 

all NAICS are healthy except for NAICS Code 541720. In response to this and based on anticipated demand, a Sub Pool for 

NAICS Code 541720 could be created through this on-ramping procedure.

Implementation of this form of on-ramping would be subject to the following conditions.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

53

1. An open season notice is published in Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with FAR Part 5, 

Publicizing Contract Action

2. An open season solicitation is issued under current Federal procurement law

3. The solicitation identifies the total anticipated number of new contracts that GSA intends toward

4. Any Offeror already possessing a contract in the affected Pool will automatically be included in the newly 

formed Sub Pool if the Offeror can provide Pool Qualification projects for the new Sub Pool, with the exception 

of Sub Pools limited to specific socioeconomic programs described in FAR 19.000(a)(3). GSA may elect to 

restrict Sub Pools to contractors qualifying as any of the socioeconomic programs described in FAR 

19.000(a)(3) (e.g. an "8(a) Only Sub Pool").

5. Any Offeror thatmeets the eligibility requirements set forth in the open season solicitation may submit a proposal in 

response to the solicitation. This Sub Pool would require Pool Qualification projects associated with the NAICS 

Code/exception of the new Sub Pool.

6. The award decision under the open season solicitation is based upon substantially the same evaluation 

factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation. The newly formed Sub Pool will become a newMA-IDIQ contract 

in the family of OASIS SB contracts.

7. An Offeror’s proposal must meet all of the Acceptability Pass/Fail Criteria of the original solicitation

8. The terms and conditions of any resulting awards are materially identical to the existing version of the OASIS 

SB Pool and,

9. The period of performance term for any new awards is coterminous with the existing term for all other Contractors

H.16. DORMANT STATUS

GSA is responsible for ensuring performance and compliance with the terms of OASIS SB and safeguarding the interests of 

the Government and the American taxpayer in its contractual relationships. Additionally, GSA must ensure that Contractors 

receive impartial, fair, and equitable treatment. OASIS SB must be reserved for high performing OASIS SB Contractors.

Accordingly, if the OASIS SB CO determines that any requirement of OASIS SB is not being met an OASIS SB Contractor 

may be placed into Dormant Status. Dormant status may be activated for a given OASIS SB Pool that a Contractor has been 

awarded or Dormant Status may be activated for all OASIS SB Pools.

If Dormant Status is activated, the Contractor shall not be eligible to participate or compete in any subsequent task order 

solicitations while the Contractor is in Dormant Status; however, Contractors placed in Dormant Status shall continue 

performance on previously awarded and active task orders, including the exercise of options and modifications at the task 

order level.

Dormant Status is not a Debarment, Suspension, or Ineligibility as defined in FAR Subpart 9.4 or a Termination as defined in 

FAR Part 49. Dormant Status is a condition that applies to the OASIS SB contract only. Grounds for being placed in Dormant

Status specifically includes, but are not limited to, trends or patterns of behavior associated with the failure to meet the 

deliverables and compliances specified under Section F.4.

Except for automatic Dormancy due to FAR 52.219-28 size re-representation resulting in a change to the Contractor’s size 

status from Small to Other Than Small (Per FAR 19.301-2(d)), dormant status will only be imposed after careful consideration 

of the situation and collaboration with the Contractor to resolve the issues. To place a Contractor in Dormant Status, the 

OASIS SB CO must first send a letter to the Contractor regarding the poor performance or non-compliance issue. The 

Contractor shall have reasonable time, at the discretion of the OASIS SB CO, to provide the OASIS SB CO with a remediation 

plan to correct the deficiencies/issues. If the OASIS SB CO is satisfied with the Contractor’s response, the Contractor will not 

be placed in Dormant Status. If the OASIS SB CO is not satisfied with the response, or the remediation plan is not effective, 

the OCO may issue a final decision, in writing, placing the Contractor in a Dormant Status. The OASIS SB CO final decision 

may be appealed to the OASIS SB Ombudsman under Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR), as defined in FAR Subpart

33.201 and GSAM 533.214. Using ADR does not waive the Contractor’s right to appeal to the Agency Board of Contract 

Appeals or United States Court of Federal Claims.

H.17. OFF-RAMPING

GSA reserves the unilateral right to Off-Ramp non-performing Contractors. Contractors that are Off-Ramped have no active 

task orders under their OASIS SB Pool at the time of the Off-Ramping. Contractors under more than one OASIS SB Pool will 

only be off ramped from the OASIS SB Pool where the non-performing issues have occurred.
OASIS SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACT (POOL 6)

54

Off-rampingmethodsmay result from one of the following conditions:

1. Permitting the Contractor’s OASIS SB Contract term to expire instead of exercising Option I

2. After a Contractor is placed in Dormant Status and the Contractor has completed all previously awarded task 

orders under OASIS

3. Debarment, Suspension, or Ineligibility as defined in FAR Subpart 9.4.

4. Termination as defined in FAR Part 49

5. Contractors who fail to meet the standards of performance, deliverables, or compliances

6. Taking any other action whichmay be permitted under the OASIS SB terms and conditions

“Supplemental” provisions/clauses for each individual task order solicitation and subsequent award. (Note: For Optional 

and/or agency Supplemental provisions/clauses, the OCO must provide the Provision/Clause Number, Title, Date, and fill-in 

information (if any), as of the date the task order solicitation is issued)

The OCO must identify in the task order solicitation whether FAR Part 12 commercial clauses/provisions apply or do not apply. 

For T&M and/or L-H task orders ONLY, the OCO must identify one of the following provisions in the task order solicitation:

1. FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition with
