Are You Prepared for the GSA OASIS+ On-Ramp Now?
The General Services Administration (GSA) is opening the OASIS+ On-Ramp Phase on January 12, 2026. If your company is not yet on OASIS+, this is the moment to act. With GSA expanding its domains, consolidating agency IDIQs, and increasing governmentwide reliance on enterprise contract vehicles, securing an OASIS+ award is increasingly essential for long-term growth in federal contracting.
Why You Should Bid on the OASIS+ On-Ramp
Winning a position on OASIS+ is no longer optional for companies seeking consistent access to high-value professional services work. Here’s why:
- OASIS+ is becoming a strategic necessity. GSA is strengthening its role as the government’s central acquisition authority, and agencies are increasingly shifting away from their own IDIQs toward governmentwide contracts like OASIS+.
- Five new domains expand opportunities. Business Administration, Financial Services, Human Capital, Marketing & Public Relations, and Social Services significantly expand the scope of prime and subcontracting opportunities.
- This is a new pathway for companies not yet on OASIS+. If you missed the previous submission window or have since expanded your capabilities, this on-ramp provides a highly valuable second chance to compete.
Readiness Checklist
To prepare for the OASIS+ On-Ramp, here are several things you can do now:
- Read the previous OASIS+ RFP
- Create a compliance matrix based on the previous RFP
- Assemble an internal team for proposal preparation
- Determine qualifying projects and experience
- Ensure your firm meets minimum requirements
- Gather artifacts and ensure their proper marking
- Prepare potential questions for GSA
- Prepare as if you are submitting now
Resources to Help You Win
After GSA releases the RFP, we will host a webinar to review it, followed by a live Q&A to answer your questions. We will also provide a free, updated OASIS+ Tracker Tool, which so many of our clients found helpful in ensuring compliance and maximizing their OASIS+ scores. You can find a copy of our original OASIS+ Tracker Tool in the Relevant Information listed below.
Conclusion
The 2026 OASIS+ On-Ramp will move quickly—and the contractors who prepare now will be the ones ready to compete and win. With expanded domains, increased demand for governmentwide acquisition solutions, and a renewed push for enterprise buying, OASIS+ will shape the professional services landscape for years to come.
Lohfeld Consulting can help you navigate every step, from readiness assessments to score-maximizing strategies to full proposal development. If OASIS+ is part of your 2026 growth strategy, contact us for assistance.
