OASISOASIS Small Business RFP Modified, Deadline Extended
by Stephanie Scott

 

The response date for the US General Service Administration's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Small Business (OASIS SB) request for proposal has been extended to October 10. GSA has also modified the RFP, intending to make it easier for small businesses lacking significant past experience with federal agencies to compete.

 

OASIS is a 10-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to provide federal agencies with total solutions across multiple professional service disciplines. There is a full and open competition RFP and a separate RFP for small businesses. The OASIS offering includes engineering, financial management, marketing consulting, research and development, and a variety of other services under subsector 541 - Professional, Scientific and Technical Services.

Contact your PTAC Counselor for assistance understanding the RFP and reviewing your proposal before submittal.
