GSA OASIS LABOR CATEGORIES

OASIS Offerings

The OASIS menu of services addresses your professional services needs, including program management, logistics, management consulting, engineering services, scientific services, and financial services. Ancillary support components such as information technology, and administrative support are also covered when integral and necessary to your overall requirement. You can use OASIS for all contract types at the task order level including fixed price, cost reimbursement, time and materials, labor-hour, and hybrid combinations of contract types on a single order. OASIS is not a Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). GWACs are specific to IT requirements while OASIS contracts are specific to Professional Services requirements.

OASIS and OASIS SB

The OASIS program represents a family of contract vehicles designed to allow maximum flexibility in meeting client needs while simultaneously maximizing Small Business utilization. The OASIS family of contracts includes a set of unrestricted contracts with a very high small business subcontracting goal, and a set of 100% Small Business Set-Aside contracts. If circumstances warrant, OASIS SB will even allow for set-asides based upon special socioeconomic status.
