OASIS II (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services) is one of the most significant contract vehicles in federal procurement. With a ceiling of $60 billion over ten years, it represents a massive opportunity for professional services firms. But what exactly is OASIS II, and how can your business get a piece of it?

What Is OASIS II?

OASIS II is a government-wide, multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by GSA. It provides federal agencies with a streamlined way to procure complex professional services.

The contract covers services in these core disciplines:

  • Program management services
  • Management consulting services
  • Scientific services
  • Engineering services
  • Financial services

Why OASIS II Matters

For contractors, being on OASIS II means:

  • Pre-qualified status: Agencies can award task orders without further competition
  • Access to any federal agency: Government-wide scope
  • Long-term opportunity: 10-year contract period
  • High ceiling: Individual task orders can reach $500 million

Who Can Use OASIS II?

OASIS II is divided into two main tracks:

Unrestricted (UR)

Open to businesses of any size. Currently, 118 contractors hold UR awards.

Small Business (SB)

Reserved for small businesses across six socio-economic categories:

  • Small Business (SB)
  • Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)
  • HUBZone
  • Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
  • 8(a)
  • Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)

How Task Orders Work

Unlike traditional contracts, OASIS II is an IDIQ vehicle. Here's how it works:

  1. A federal agency identifies a need for professional services
  2. They issue a task order solicitation to OASIS II awardees
  3. Only OASIS II contractors can bid on the task order
  4. The agency evaluates proposals and awards the task order

This streamlined process means faster awards and less competition than open-market solicitations.

Getting on OASIS II

OASIS II awards are made through a competitive proposal process. GSA evaluates contractors on:

  • Relevant experience: Past performance on similar contracts
  • Qualifications: Personnel credentials and certifications
  • Systems and processes: Quality management, accounting, etc.

Note: The initial OASIS II award period has closed, but on-ramps (opportunities for new contractors to join) occur periodically.

  • Build relationships with agency contracting officers
  • Respond quickly to RFQs (often 5-10 day turnaround)
  • Price competitively while maintaining quality

OASIS II vs. Other Vehicles

How does OASIS II compare to other major vehicles?

  • vs. GSA Schedules: OASIS II is for complex services; Schedules cover products and simpler services
  • vs. SEWP: SEWP is IT-focused; OASIS II is broader professional services
  • vs. CIO-SP3: CIO-SP3 is NIH-specific IT; OASIS II is government-wide

Bottom Line

OASIS II represents one of the best opportunities for professional services firms in federal contracting. If you missed the initial award, watch for on-ramp announcements. In the meantime, build your past performance and prepare a strong proposal for the next opportunity.
