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 1 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 under OASIS 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 

non-personal 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 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,multiyear or option periods, and commercial or non-commercial items.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

B.1.4. Minimum Guarantee andMaximum 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 order must 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 maximum dollar ceiling for OASIS SB, including Option 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 tomultiple 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 nonmetropolitan 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 50th Percentile estimate, a 75th Percentile estimate, and a 90th Percentile
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

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 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 

Contractormay deviate from the Junior, Journeyman, Senior, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) definitions in Section J.1, 

Attachment (1), as long as the Contractor clearly identifies the deviation in their proposals. Additionally, the following 

qualification substitution chart applies:

Bachelor's Degree 6 years’ work experience may be

substituted for a bachelor’s degree

Associate degree plus 4 years’ work experience may be 

substituted for a bachelor’s degree

Master's Degree 12 years’ work experience may be 

substituted for a master’s degree

Bachelor's Degree plus 8 years work experience may be substituted 

for a master’s degree

Doctorate's Degree 20 years’ work experience may be

substituted for a Doctorate's Degree

Bachelor's Degree plus 16 years work experience, or a master’s 

degree plus 12 years work experience may be substituted for a 

Doctorate's Degree

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 Task Orders

Cost Reimbursement is defined under FAR Subpart 16.3, Cost-Reimbursement Contracts, and other applicable 

agency-specific 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&M and L-H Task Orders

Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) is defined under FAR Subpart 16.6, T&M and 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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

10

T&M and 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&M and L-H Task Orders

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.

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 

maximum allowable labor rates in the form of 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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

11

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 and may 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 Section C.4.

The Contractor should propose and identify each ancillary support service or other direct costs separately and the OCO 

should identify each ancillary support service or other direct costs by a separate CLIN on the task order award.

The Contractor shall report in the CPRM all ancillary labor in accordance with Section G.3.2.

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 Labor Standards

The OASIS SB labor categories, identified in Section J.1, Attachment (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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

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 tomaterials and equipment consistent with the Contractor’s usual 

accounting practices.

B.3.7. Subcontracting

For non-commercial items, subcontracting shall follow the procedures set forth in FAR Part 44, Subcontracting Policies 

and Procedures, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements. For commercial items, subcontracting 

shall follow the procedures set forth in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and other applicable agencyspecific regulatory supplements.

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).
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

20

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, Attachment (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.

C.4.1. Ancillary Support Services for Information Technology

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 Section C.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 of OASIS.

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 

Architect-Engineers 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.

Clauses and other requirements regarding deliveries or performance shall be designated by the OCO at the task order 

level.

F.2. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

The services to be provided under OASIS SB shall be accomplished at the locations identified in the task order and may 

include locations in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the CONUS (OCONUS).

F.3. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance of the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool was originally intended to be from the date of award through 

December 19, 2019, with 1 5-year option that may extend the cumulative term of the contract through December 19, 2024 in 

accordance with FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, if exercised. As the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool is 

not awarded until on or after April 17, 2020 and OASIS SB is already in its Option Period 1, the period of

performance of the OASIS 8(a) Sub Pool is now simply from the date of award through December 19, 2024.

The period of performance for each task order awarded under the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool shall be specified in the task 

order by the ordering agency. Task orders must be solicited and awarded prior to the OASIS SB term expiring and may 

extend up to 5 years after the OASIS SB term expires.

Task order option periods may be exercised after the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool term expires as long as the final task order 

option period does not extend the cumulative term of the task order beyond 5 years after the OASIS SB term expires.

After the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool term expires, the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool contract will remain an active contract until 

the final task order is closed-out and shall govern the terms and conditions with respect to active task orders to the same 

extent as if it were completed during the OASIS term.

Accordingly, the cumulative term of the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool may span up to December 19, 2024 and the 

cumulative term of all task orders placed under the OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool may span up to December 19, 2029.

F.4. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

OASIS SB is a performance-based contract withmeasurable standards in terms of quality and timeliness of 

deliverables and compliances in accordance with Section F.4.1 and F.4.2.

In the event the CPRM is not operational, deliverable and reporting requirements designated for input into the CPRM 

shall be provided as directed by the OASIS SB CO within the stated timeframes.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

24

The OASIS SB CO or an authorized representative shall have the right to examine and audit all supporting records

and materials, regardless of whether such items are in written form, in the form of computer data, or in any other 

form, for the purpose of enforcing all deliverables and compliances herein.

Acceptable Accounting Systems are mandatory for all Contractors on OASIS SB. All other systems and certifications 

are optional; however, Contractors are encouraged to acquire these systems and certifications.

All Systems, Compliances, and Certifications must be maintained at the Contractors current level at time of award or 

higher throughout the period of performance of OASIS SB. For example, if a Contractor received an evaluation credit 

for having an Approved Purchasing System and CMMI Level 3 certification at time of award, then the Contractor must 

maintain an Approved Purchasing System and CMMI Level 3 certification level or higher for the life of OASIS SB.

Failure to meet the following deliverables, reports, or compliance standards may result in activation of Dormant Status 

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

F.4.1. Deliverable and Reporting Requirements

The following table contains deliverables and reports required for OASIS SB. Task order deliverables and reporting will be 

specified in the task order. The Government does not waive its right to request other deliverables or reports not 

specifically listed in the table below. Deliverables or reports are required until the final task order is closed-out for each 

Contractor. If a deliverable is due on a calendar day that falls on a weekend day or a Government holiday, the 

deliverable or report is due the following business day.

disadvantage 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 the maximum 

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

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
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

36

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 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 selfassessment 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 CPARS or alternative past performance assessment 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. 

Interim performance 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 accomplished in accordance with FAR 42.1503.

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 the minimum 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).
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

37

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-Name Agreements

If a Contractor merges, 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 changeof-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

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. OPTION DETERMINATION

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-Economic Group

OASIS SB 8(a) is a 100% 8(a) set-aside contract. All orders issued under OASIS SB 8(a) are automatically considered 

set-aside for 8(a) Program Participants as only 8(a) Program Participants were awarded an OASIS SB 8(a) contract.

All OASIS SB 8(a) contractors’ size/socioeconomic status remains unchanged in each of their OASIS SB 8(a) contracts

unless modified by a FAR 52.219-28, Post-Award Small Business Program Re-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.

In accordance with 13 U.S.C. 124.503(h)(1), 8(a) Program Participants are eligible for competitive and sole source 

awards. Where an agency seeks to award an order on a sole source basis (i.e., to one particular 8(a) contract holder

without competition among all 8(a) contract holders), the agency must offer, and SBA must accept the order into the 8(a) 

programs on behalf of the identified 8(a) contract holder. See FAR 19.804 for guidance related to the SBA offer and 

acceptance process.

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).

H.4.1. OASIS SB NAICS Codes

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

contracts that span 29 NAICS Codes and 6 NAICS Code Exceptions under the economic subsector 541, Professional, 

Scientific, and Technical Services. NAICS Codes are grouped into 7 separate Pools based on 6 separate small business 

size standards (15M, 20.5M, 38.5M, 1,000 employees, 1,250 employees, and 1,500 employees). Pool 5 (1,250 

employees) is split into Pool 5A (Exception B) and Pool 5B (Exception C) for a total of 7 Pools. Each Pool is a separate 

OASIS MA-IDIQ task order contract.

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 NAICS code and 

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

Under this contract, the OCO must identify a predominant OASIS SB NAICS Code and Business Size Standard from 

the table below in the task order Solicitation.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

42

The OCO must provide fair opportunity to all Contractors under the applicable OASIS SB Pool for Solicitation 

purposes, unless an exception to fair opportunity under OASIS SB has been properly executed. Ordering Procedures at 

FAR 16.505 apply.

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

solicited under this contract and only OASIS SB Contractors are eligible to receive Solicitations and task order 

awards under this contract.

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, AND CLEARANCES

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

Clearances are optional; however, Contractors are encouraged to acquire the following Systems, Certifications, and 

Clearances for the benefit of customer agencies.

All Systems, Certifications, and Clearances must be maintained at the Contractors current level at time of award or 

higher throughout the period of performance of OASIS SB. For example, if a Contractor received an evaluation credit for 

having an Approved Purchasing System and CMMI Level 3 certification at time of award, then the Contractor must 

maintain an Approved Purchasing System and CMMI Level 3 certification level or higher for the life of OASIS SB.

Failure to meet the following deliverables, reports, or compliance standards may result in activation of Dormant Status 

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

For each Contractor, the OASIS Program Office will maintain a current list of all applicable Systems, 

Certifications, and Clearances for the OCO upon request.

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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

48

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 ON SUBCONTRACTING

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

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 customer-focused 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 

agreed-upon 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 ongoing GSA and Government-wide initiatives, and address OASIS 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

GSA will establish an OASIS SB website for the purposes of informing our customers, stakeholders, and the general 

public of the attributes and procedures for OASIS SB.

The GSA OASIS SB webpage will include, but not be limited to, the following:

H.11.5. Reserved

H.12. TRAINING AND PERMITS

The Contractor shall provide fully trained and experienced personnel required for performance under task orders 

awarded under OASIS SB. The Contractor shall train Contractor personnel, at its own expense, except when the OCO

 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

50

Except as otherwise provided in an individual task order, the Contractor shall, at its own expense, be responsible for 

obtaining any and all licenses, certifications, authorizations, approvals, and permits, and for complying with any 

applicable Federal, national, state, and municipal laws, codes, and regulations, and any applicable foreign work 

permits, authorizations, and/or visas in connection with the performance of any applicable task order issued under 

OASIS SB.

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 Contractor 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 Contractor 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 or action.

H.13.2. Conduct

The Contractor 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 Contractor 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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

51

H.13.3. Conflicts of Interest

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 OCO may require that 

the Contractor 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 Government Sites

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 the Government.

Unless otherwise specified in a task order, the Contractor 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
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

52

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.

H.14.2. Government Facilities

The Contractor 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 Contractor 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 

specific Government identification credential issued by the Government. 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 Contractor 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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

53

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 procedure may be performed for any 

single OASIS SB Pool at any time.

H.15.1. Lateral Pool On-Ramping

In accordance with Section G.3.10, Contractors under OASIS 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.

For example, if Contractor X in OASIS SB Pool 1 ($15M 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 ($20.5M 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 Pool.

In order to obtain a Lateral Pool On-Ramp, the Contractor must:

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 SB contract

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 

SB awards.

The Lateral Pool On-Ramping Solicitation will include the same evaluation factors/subfactors 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 On-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.
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

54

The OASIS SB CO may conduct a Lateral Pool On-Ramp without conducting any other On-Ramp.

H.15.2. Vertical Contract On-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 in OASIS SB Pool 1 ($15M size standard), can no longer certify as a small business under 

the $15M 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: 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 On-Ramping Solicitation will include the same evaluation factors/subfactors 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 CO may conduct a Vertical Pool On-Ramp without conducting any other form of On-Ramp.

H.15.3. Open Season On-Ramping

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

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 to award

4. Any Offeror that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the open season Solicitation may submit a
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

55

proposal in response to the Solicitation

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

factors/subfactors as the original Solicitation

6. An Offeror’s proposal mustmeet 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 are materially 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 Pool Creation)

GSA has determined that it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate an open season On-Ramping to create a 

Sub Pool within established OASIS SB Pools. This has been initiated in response to client needs, competition levels, or 

other factors. The newly formed OASIS SB 8(a) Sub Pool will become a new MA-IDIQ contract in the family of OASIS SB 

contracts.

Focused On-Ramping is 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 to award

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 that meets 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/subfactors as the original Solicitation. The newly formed Sub Pool will become a new MA-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
 OASIS SMALL BUSINESS 8(a) CONTRACT (POOL 5b)

56

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 include, 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, in writing, 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.

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.

PART II – CONTRACT CLAUSES SECTION

I – CONTRACT CLAUSES

I.1. TASK ORDER CLAUSES

In accordance with FAR 52.301, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses (Matrix), the OASIS SB master contracts 

cannot predetermine all the contract provisions/clauses for future individual task orders.

Representation and Certification Provisions from the OASIS SB master contracts automatically flow down to all OASIS 

SB task orders.

All “Applicable” and “Required” provisions/clauses set forth in FAR 52.301 automatically flow down to all OASIS SB 

task orders based on their specific contract type (e.g. cost, fixed price, etc.), statement of work, competition 

requirements, commercial or not commercial, and dollar value as of the date the task order Solicitation is issued. 

(Note: Any Applicable and/or Required provisions/clauses that require fill-in information must be provided by the OCO in 

full text).

The OCO must identify any “Optional” provisions/clauses set forth in FAR 52.301 and/or any of the ordering agency’s

“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 Adequate Price Competition. (Note: For organizations within DoD, when selecting FAR 52.216-29, the 

OCO must also identify DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A).

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

Without Adequate Price Competition

Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2019-06)

(a) This clause does not apply to the unrestricted portion of a partial set-aside.

(b) Definition. As used in this clause—

“Similarly situated entity” means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor,

that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award, and

that is considered small for the NAICS code, the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor

will perform. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business 

concern for a HUBZone set-aside or sole source award under the HUBZone Program.

(c) Applicability. This clause applies only to—

(1) Contracts that have been set aside or reserved any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3);

and 19.15; and

(4) Orders set aside for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3) under multiple-award

contracts as described in 8.405-5 and 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F).

(d) Independent contractors. An independent contractor shall be considered a subcontractor.

(e) Agreement. By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees in

performance of the contract in the case of a contract for—

(1) Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for

contract performance to subcontractors 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;

(2) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies), it will not pay more than 50

percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to
