What is SBA OASIS (Small Business Administration One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services)?
The SBA OASIS (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services) is a government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) designed to provide federal agencies with a streamlined solution for acquiring complex professional services. Managed by the General Services Administration (GSA), OASIS is intended to support both large and small businesses by providing flexible and comprehensive contracting options.
Key Features of SBA OASIS
Comprehensive Service Offerings
OASIS covers a wide range of professional service areas, including program management, management consulting, logistics, engineering, scientific, and financial services. This makes it a versatile tool for federal agencies seeking integrated solutions for complex requirements.
Small Business Focus
OASIS has a dedicated small business pool, which ensures that small businesses, including those certified under SBA programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), have the opportunity to compete for federal contracts. This focus helps promote diversity and innovation within the federal marketplace.
Streamlined Acquisition Process
OASIS simplifies the procurement process by providing a single contract vehicle that can handle both simple and complex requirements. This reduces the administrative burden on federal agencies and speeds up the acquisition timeline, making it easier for agencies to meet their mission needs efficiently.
Flexibility and Scalability
The contract is designed to accommodate a wide range of contract types, including fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, and labor-hour contracts. This flexibility allows agencies to tailor their procurement strategies to their specific needs and scale their projects accordingly.
