Seize OASIS+ Opportunities in 2025 Now

The One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus (OASIS+) Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract is gearing up for 2025 as it releases more contract awards in December. GSA started releasing OASIS+ contracts last July when it kicked off awards for Small Business (SB) companies. SBs are one of six set-aside groups, with the others being HUBZone (HZ) SB, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned SB (SDVOSB), Women-Owned SB (WOSB), 8(a), and Unrestricted (UR). Here’s a summary of GSA’s contract rollouts to date.

The 28 awardees identified thus far are listed below. More awards are expected in mid-December, followed closely by a Post-Award Conference. These contracts will be available for customer agency ordering in GSA eBuy by late December 2024.
