PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1. BACKGROUND

One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) 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 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. This OASIS MAIDIQ task order contract falls under Pool 2 in accordance with Section H.4.1.

The services to be provided under OASIS are intended tomeet 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 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 and the delegation of authority for the award and administration of 

task orders under OASIS are defined in Section G.

Hereafter, the “OASIS Contracting Officer” will be referred to as the “OASIS 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 under the 

authority of 40 U.S.C. 501.

B.1.3. Contract Type

OASIS is a family of Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) task order contracts for Governmentwide 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 allows for all contract types at the task order level (e.g., Cost-Reimbursement (all types), Fixed-Price (all types), Timeand-Materials, and Labor-Hour). Task orders may also combine more than one contract type (e.g., FFP/Cost, FFP/Labor Hour
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

7

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

commercial or non-commercial items.

B.1.4. Minimum Guarantee andMaximum Ceiling

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

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. An 

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

There is no maximum dollar ceiling for OASIS, including Option I, if exercised.

B.1.5. Contract Access Fee (CAF)

GSA operating costs associated with the management and administration of OASIS 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 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 task order.

B.2.1. Standardized Labor Categories

OASIS 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 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 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 50th Percentile estimate, a 75th Percentile estimate, and a 90th Percentile estimate for
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

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 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 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:

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 agencyspecific regulatory supplements. FAR Part 30, Cost Accounting Standards Administration and FAR Part 31, Contract Cost 

Principles and Procedures, may apply to cost-reimbursement task orders.

The Contractor shall have and maintain 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, forward pricing rate 

agreements, and/or CAS.

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,
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

9

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&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 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 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, if the average annual ECI for the previous three years is higher than at time 

of OASIS 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, 

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

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

5 of OASIS, 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 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 and task orders awarded under OASIS.

B.3. ANCILLARY SUPPORT

Ancillary support, integral and necessary as part of a total integrated solution within the scope of OASIS for which there is not

a labor category specified in OASIS 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.

Ancillary support may be either:

"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

"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 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.

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

the scope of OASIS. 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 labor categories, identified in Section J.1., are considered bona fide executive, administrative, and 

professional labor that are exempt from service contract labor standards.

To the extent that any ancillary labor for services is within the scope of OASIS and subject to 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 does not include clauses applicable to any service contract labor standards that are part of a total solution within the 

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

subsequent award when service contract labor standards apply.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

11

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, 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

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 agency-specific 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 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.

“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).
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

19

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 of OASIS.

3. InherentlyGovernmental 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.

The period of performance for each task order awarded under OASIS shall be specified in the task order by the ordering 

agency. Task orders must be solicited and awarded prior to the OASIS term expiring and may extend up to 5 years after 

the OASIS term expires.

Task order option periods may be exercised after the OASIS 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 term expires.

After the OASIS term expires, OASIS 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 all task orders placed under OASIS may span up to March 1, 2030.

F.4. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

OASIS is a performance-based contract with measurable 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 CO within the stated timeframes.

The OASIS 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. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) 

are mandatory unless, covered by exemption under 48 CR 9903.201-1 and 48 CFR 9903.201-2. 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
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

throughout the period of performance of OASIS. 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.

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 ReportingRequirements

The following table contains deliverables and reports required for OASIS. 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

Government may exercise all rights under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, including withholding or off setting 

payments and interest on the debt.

G.3.3. Subcontracting Plan

The Contractor shall comply with the Contractor’s Subcontracting Plan and Subcontracting Plan Addendums, incorporated into 

the OASIS contract by reference, to ensure that small business, small 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.

As stated in 15 U.S.C. 637(d)(8), any Contractor or Subcontractor failing to comply in good faith with the requirements of the 

subcontracting plan is in material breach of its contract. Further, 15 U.S.C. 637(d)(4)(F) directs that a Contractor’s failure to 

make a good faith effort to comply with the requirements of the subcontracting plan shall result in the imposition of liquidated 

damages.

The OASIS Program Office requires use of the electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) modules as the secure, 

confidential, information management tool to evaluate subcontracting goal performance for OASIS.

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

Reports (ISR) for Individual Subcontracting Plans, if applicable, and Summary Subcontract Reports (SSR) per each individual 

Pool the Contractor has a contract award using the web-based eSRS at http://www.esrs.gov.

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/SSR.

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

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

In addition, the COCM will be required to identify an alternate contact that will be responsible for notifying the OASIS 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 September 3rd through September 2nd, the Contractor shall provide the 

OASIS Contracting Officer a self-assessment on the contractual requirements herein.

The purpose of the self-assessment is to support the OASIS 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 Contracting Officer will provide a standardized template via the CSA online tool
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

35

(https://feedback.gsa.gov/jfe/form/SV_eLkQ59G0DibjTGl) to the COCM for submitting the self-assessment content and 

format. The self-assessment report is due November 15th for the preceding reporting period.

G.3.4.2. Task Order CPARS

The OASIS 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 using the process and 

criteria in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or alternative past performance 

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

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. 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. 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. The Contractor shall notify the 

OASIS 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 CO will maintain a record of each OASIS 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 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 change-of-name 

agreements by a CO other than the OASIS CO, the Contractor must notify the OASIS 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.

If requesting a novation by the OASIS CO, the following information shall govern the request and be taken into consideration 

before requesting the novation:

The law (41 U.S.C. 6305) prohibits transfer of Government contracts from an awardee to a third party. However, the Government 

may, when in its interest, novate an awardee's contract to a third party when there is a transfer of:

1. All of the awardee’s assets

2. The entire portion of the assets involved in performing the contract

When a company purchases ALL of an awardee's assets, the purchasing company will need to submit the novation requirements 

found at FAR 42.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

36

When a company purchases the entire portion of the assets involved in performing the contract, the purchasing company will 

need to submit the novation requirements found at FAR 42.1204. IMPORTANT to note here is that the interpret of this exception 

means that people shall be involved in the transfer of assets along with all other non-personnel assets.

For companies with OASIS task orders, that means all of the people performing those task orders as well as the people 

performing at the contract level (COCM and COPM).

For companies without OASIS task orders, that means the people performing at the contract level (COCM and COPM). 

No company may hold multiple contracts within the same Pool.

In the event that an existing OASIS Prime Contractor purchases ALL of the awardee’s assets OR the portion of the assets 

involved in performing the contract of another OASIS Prime contractor in the same pool, upon finalization of the novation or 

change of name agreement the duplicate contract shall be considered “surrendered” and shall be placed in dormant status if 

there are on-going task orders or off-ramped if there are no on-going task orders. If the duplicate contract is off-ramped, the 

OASIS CO will begin the contract close out process immediately.

If a company is considering submitting a request for the Government to recognize a successor in interest, it is highly 

recommended for the contractor(s) to meet with the OASIS CO before the request is submitted.

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

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 Contracting Officer in writing, within the 

timeframes specified above.

G.4. OASIS AND TASK ORDERCLOSE-OUTS

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

The OCO is responsible for closing out their task orders under OASIS. 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. Agile Task Order and Contract Administration Systems, Process and/or Procedures Changes

H.3.1. Reserved

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 during the term of OASIS, the OASIS CO may need to 

update the OASIS MA-IDIQ task order contracts to reflect the updated NAICS Code(s) and small business size standards(s).

H.4.1. Pool 2 NAICS Codes

All NAICS Codes associated to Pool 2 are grouped under the small business size standard of $22 Million 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. Under this unrestricted contract, a task order cannot be a set-aside or a socioeconomic set-aside. 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 Unrestricted Pool 2 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 Unrestricted Pool 2 NAICS Code and $22 

Million Dollar Business Size Standard from the table below in the task order solicitation.

The OCO must provide fair opportunity to all Contractors under OASIS Unrestricted Pool 2 for solicitation purposes, 

unless an exception to fair opportunity under Pool 2 has been properly executed. Ordering Procedures at FAR 16.505 

apply.

Only OASIS Unrestricted Pool 2 NAICS Codes are eligible to be selected as the predominant NAICS Code for task 

orders solicited under this contract and only OASIS Unrestricted Pool 2 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 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. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) are 

mandatory unless, covered by exemption under 48 CR 9903.201-1 and 48 CFR 9903.201-2. 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. 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.

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.

H.6.1. Acceptable Accounting System

An acceptable accounting system is a system that is approved by the OASIS CO and provides for the proper segregation, 

identification, accumulation, and allocation of direct and indirect costs for government procurements

Acceptable Accounting Systems are mandatory. The Contractor must maintain an acceptable accounting system for the 

entire term of OASIS. The Contractor shall notify the OASIS CO and designated OCO for affected task orders, in writing, if 

there are any changes in the status of their accounting system and provide the reasons for the change and copies of audit 

reports, as applicable.

Only those Contractors that maintain an acceptable accounting system, as approved by the OASIS CO, shall be eligible for 

task order solicitations.

H.6.2. Acceptable Estimating System

An estimating system is a system that includes policies, procedures, and practices for budgeting and planning controls, and 

generating estimates of costs and other data included in proposals submitted to customers in the expectation of receiving 

contract awards.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

41

An acceptable estimating system means an estimating system that is:

1. Maintained, reliable, and consistently applied

2. Produces, verifiable, supportable, documented, and timely cost estimates that are an acceptable basis for 

negotiation of fair and reasonable prices

3. Is consistent with and integrated with the Contractor’s related management systems

4. Is subject to applicable financial control systems

An Acceptable Estimating System is not mandatory; however, Contractors are encouraged to have an acceptable estimating 

system approved by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) or other cognizant auditor for the entire term of 

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

changes in the status of their estimating system and provide the reasons for the change and copies of audit reports, as 

applicable.

H.6.3. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS)

Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) are a set of 19 standards and rules promulgated by the Government for use in 

determining costs on procurements and for Contractors to disclose in writing and follow consistently their cost accounting 

practices.

The Contractor and its Subcontractors may be subject to "full" CAS coverage which requires all 19 standards, "modified" 

CAS coverage which requires Standards 401, 402, 405, and 406, or be “exempt” from CAS coverage under 48 CFR 

9903.201-1 and 48 CFR 9903.201-2. Also, a Contractor under "full" coverage is not subject to a standard where it does not 

apply.

When a Contractor is subject to CAS, the Contractor must comply with CAS coverage for task orders awarded under OASIS. 

CAS does not apply to task orders and subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items under FAR Part 12 or when task 

orders and subcontracts are firm-fixed-price or fixed-price with economic price adjustment provided that the price adjustment 

is not based on actual costs incurred.

When a Contractor is subject to CAS, the Contractor must maintain CAS compliance by DCAA or other cognizant auditor for 

the entire term of OASIS. The Contractor shall notify the OASIS CO and designated OCO for affected task orders, in writing, if 

there are any changes to their CAS Disclosure Statements, Administration of CAS, or Cost Accounting Practice Changes, and 

provide the reasons for the change and copies of audit reports, as applicable.

CAS does not apply to task orders for the acquisition of commercial items when the task orders are firm-fixed-price or fixedprice with economic price adjustment provided that the price adjustment is not based on actual costs incurred.

H.6.4. Forward Pricing Rate Agreements, Forward Pricing Rate Recommendations, and Approved Billing 

Rates

Billing rates and final indirect cost rates may be used in reimbursing indirect costs under cost-reimbursement task orders and 

in determining progress payments under fixed-price task orders.

A Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) means a written agreement to make certain rates available during a specified 

period for use in pricing contracts or modifications. These rates represent reasonable projections of specific costs that are not 

easily estimated for, identified with, or generated by a specific contract, contract end item, or task. These projections may

include rates for such things as direct labor, indirect costs, material obsolescence and usage, and material handling.

A Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation (FPRR) means a set of rates and factors unilaterally established by the ACO for use 

by the Government in negotiations or other contract actions when forward pricing rate agreement negotiations have not been 

completed or when the Contractor will not agree to a forward pricing rate agreement.

Approved Billing Rates means an indirect cost rate established temporarily for interim reimbursement of incurred indirect costs 

and adjusted as necessary pending establishment of final indirect cost rates.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

42

For Time and Material, Labor-Hour, and Cost Reimbursement (all types) task orders solicited and awarded under OASIS,

Contractors are encouraged to execute a FPRA and/or approved billing rates to the maximum extent practicable. Contractors 

may use FPRRs when an FPRA has not been negotiated.

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

in the status of their FPRA, FPRR, and/or approved billing rates and provide the reasons for the change and copies of audit 

reports, as applicable.

FPRA, FPRR, and/or Approved Billing Rates will not be disclosed on the OASIS website. Only the OCO will have access to 

this information upon request.

H.6.5. Approved Purchasing System

An approved purchasing system means the Contractor’s purchasing system has been approved under a Contractor 

Purchasing System Review (CPSR) for efficiency and effectiveness with which the Contractor spends Government funds and 

complies with Government policy when subcontracting.

Advance notification requirements for subcontracting and consent to subcontract are not required when a Contractor has an 

approved purchasing system unless otherwise requested by the OCO on an individual task order or task orders with no 

subcontracting possibilities or for commercial items acquired under FAR Part 12.

An Approved Purchasing System is not mandatory; however, Contractors are encouraged to have a purchasing system 

approved by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) or other cognizant Government administration office for the 

entire term of OASIS.

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

the status of their purchasing system and provide the reasons for the change and copies of CPSR reports, as applicable.

H.6.6. Earned Value Management System

An earned value management system (EVMS) means a project management tool that effectively integrates the project 

scope of work with cost, schedule and performance elements for optimum project planning and control. The qualities and 

operating characteristics of EVMS are described in American National Standards Institute /Electronics Industries Alliance 

(ANSI/EIA) Standard-748.

provide the reasons for the change.

If applicable, the Contractor’s MRCLs are incorporated by reference into the OASIS 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.

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 no mandatory levels of facility security clearance for Contractors under OASIS; however, task orders may 

require an FCL at any level, under OASIS.

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

OASIS. The Contractor shall notify the OASIS 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 shallmake 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 Security Clearance

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.

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 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 sustainable management 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 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 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 disclosure 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 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. RESERVED

H.11. PARTNERING

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

Failure to attend meetings, maintain a Contractor OASIS 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.).
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

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 in order to assess performance against the goals and to reinforce partnering principles.

meetings is to provide a platform for OASIS Contractors, OASIS 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 fundamentals. Any Contractor costs associated to PMR Meetings 

shall be at no direct cost to the Government.

H.11.5. Reserved

H.12. TRAINING AND PERMITS

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

under OASIS. The Contractor shall train Contractor personnel, at its own expense, except when the OCO has given prior 

approval for specific training to meet special requirements that are peculiar to a particular task order.

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.

H.13. ETHICS AND CONDUCT

Personal services are not authorized under OASIS. OASIS 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 and the Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the Contractor in the 

performance of contractual services under OASIS. 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.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

48

In all communications with third parties in connection with OASIS, 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 ofOASIS.

The Contactor shall ensure that all of its employees, including Subcontractor employees, working under OASIS 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 CO immediately of this communication or action.

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 during periods funded by the Government; conduct business not directly related 

to OASIS 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 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 CO immediately of this communication or action.

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. The FAR and other applicable agency specific 

regulatory supplements will govern task orders awarded under OASIS.

Assuming no real or potential conflict of interest, an OASIS 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.

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 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.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

49

The OCO or OASIS 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. Cooperationwith 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. The Contractor shall fully cooperate with the other Contractors and with Government employees and shall 

carefully adapt scheduling and performing the work under OASIS 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, 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 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.

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 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 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.
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

50

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

Pool at any time.

H.15.1. Reserved

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 in OASIS SB Pool 2 ($20.5M size standard), can no longer certify as a small business under the 

1$20.5M employee size standard, Contractor X may elect to be considered for OASIS Pool 2 as a large business.

In order to vertically on-ramp, the Contractor must:
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

51

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 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 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 to add additional

Contractors to any of the OASIS 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 to award

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 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 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 SectionM.6. of the solicitation at the time of the original awards

8. If the intent of the on ramp is to “add” OASIS 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 

Pool and,

10.The period of performance term for any new awards is coterminous with the existing term for all other Contractors
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

52

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 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 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.

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

in the family of OASIS 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 

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 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 must be reserved for high performing OASIS

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

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

awarded or Dormant Status may be activated for all OASIS 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 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.

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 CO must first send a letter to the Contractor regarding the
Unrestricted OASIS Pool 2

53

poor performance or non-compliance issue. The Contractor shall have reasonable time, at the discretion of the OASIS CO, to 

provide the OASIS CO with a remediation plan to correct the deficiencies/issues. If the OASIS CO is satisfied with the 

Contractor’s response, the Contractor will not be placed in Dormant Status. If the OASIS 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 CO final decision may be appealed to the OASIS 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 Pool at the time of the Off-Ramping. Contractors under more than one OASIS Pool will only be 

off ramped from the OASIS Pool where the non-performing issues have occurred.

Off-rampingmethods may result from one of the following conditions:

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

orders under OASIS

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

3. Termination as defined in FAR Part 49

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

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

thereon computed at the annual rate established under section 6621(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C.
