All of these nine dozen companies now hold the status of apparent winners for the professional services vehicle, but for different reasons.
The General Services Administration has lined up a new group of 118 companies as preferred choices for OASIS+, the massive government-wide contract vehicle for professional services not tech-centric in nature.
GSA plans to send this group formal award notifications and notices-to-proceed on or around Oct. 17, then open the agency’s eBuy ordering portal to them the following business day.
GSA’s Monday notice listing the new round of 12 unrestricted selections does use the phrase “apparent awardees” to describe them, as the choices are pending final responsibility reviews.
Also on Monday, GSA said it has lined up 106 small businesses as apparent awardees across all five of the vehicle’s set-aside tracks. This move opens the window for size challenges to determine if these selected companies are in fact small businesses.
The new round of OASIS+ small business choices breaks down as follows:
- 52 for the general small business track
- 24 for the 8(a) track
- 13 for the service-disabled/veteran-owned track
- 12 for the woman-owned track
- 5 for the HUBZone track
OASIS+ has a total of 700 primes for the unrestricted portion and 3,320 official awardees across the small business tracks, figures that account for adjustments by the agency after the different releases of apparent winners.
