Domains, Scope and Labor categories
The contract scope is organized by domains and North American Industry Classification System or NAICS codes.
Scope:
OASIS+ covers services that are: primarily noncommercial, with the allowance for commercial services task orders classified and unclassified; and within the Continental US (CONUS) and Outside the Continental US (OCONUS). The Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) determines the principal purpose NAICS code for the order to be one of the OASIS+ NAICS codes.
Domains:
The contract scope is organized by domains or functional groupings of related services spanning multiple NAICs codes. Domains and the NAICS codes listed under the domains are designed to align order requirements to qualified industry partners. Each domain is limited to the NAICS codes and associated size standards specifically listed under that domain.

Enterprise Solutions (UR Only) (ENT)
This Domain is for the procurement of highly technical, new and emerging and/or specialized mission objectives that require special management attention, and oversight because of the importance to the agency mission; high-level development, operating, or maintenance costs; high risk; high return; or their significant role in the administration of agency-wide programs, systems, finances, property, or other resources. This Domain also includes non-IT services in support of national security systems in accordance with 40 USC § 11103(a).
The Enterprise Solutions Domain is focused on requirements that are large-dollar, wide-reaching (e.g., across one organization, agency or multiple organizations and/or agencies) and highly complex in scope. By design, this Domain shares overlapping NAICS with other Domains within OASIS+.
Labor categories
OASIS+ labor categories align to the Office of Management and Budget’s Standard Occupational Classification Manual 2018, which includes compensation data maintained by the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Federal agencies use the Standard Occupational Classification system, a federal statistical standard, to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data and not limited to standard LCATS.
Built for the future
OASIS+ represents a bold step by GSA to innovate on the successes and opportunities gleaned from the OASIS program over the years; drawing on these learnings, OASIS+ builds a more robust suite of Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for the next generation of professional services solutions, that will be flexible enough to meet federal customers’ increasingly complex requirements.
OASIS+ is flexible, easy to use, and allows ordering activities to solicit and/or award orders in a streamlined, high quality manner. The benefits of OASIS+ include:
- Task orders that may be:
- For work performed in CONUS and/or OCONUS locations;
- For complex commercial or non-commercial services;
- For any contract type, including hybrid mix and structures of Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) types tailored to individual task order requirements;
- Open on-ramping; after the initial phase of awards, the solicitation for OASIS+ will remain continuously open, allowing potential industry partners to obtain OASIS+ contracts at any time as long as they qualify;
- An ordering period of 10 years;
- Ancillary services and Other Direct Costs (ODCs) defined as integral and necessary to complete a total integrated solution under a requirement are within the scope of the master contract;
- Save time without having to complete the following, which have already been completed at the OASIS+ master contract level;
- FAR subpart 9.1 responsibility determinations;
- General Services Administration Manual/ Regulation (GSAM/R) 505.303-70 congressional notifications; - however, the ordering agency specific policies will still be applicable/required.
OASIS+ will:
- Fulfill federal agencies’ non-IT services requirements through highly qualified contractors and a simpler buying experience: all task order solicitations now happen through a single platform, GSA eBuy.
- Expand access to Best-in-Class non-IT service contracts for highly qualified contractors by providing increased small business opportunities and an improved selling experience.
Key features
- Flexible/expandable domain-based structure
- Global access to commercial and noncommercial structures
- No contract ceiling or cap on awards
- 10-year period (base of 5 years + one 5 year option period)
- Price evaluation at the contract level
- Task order solicitation through a single platform, GSA eBuy
Task orders
The following information is related to researching contract features that focus on task orders.
Except for any limitations that the FAR imposes, there is no maximum order limitation under OASIS+; the OASIS+ program has no ceiling on any OASIS+ Multiple Agency Contracts.
OASIS+ task order contract/CLIN types
For OASIS+ task orders, allowable contract types include:
- FAR subpart 16.2 fixed-price contracts
- FAR subpart 16.3 cost-reimbursement contracts
- FAR subpart 16.4 incentive contracts
- FAR 16.601 time-and-materials
- FAR 16.602 labor-hour contracts
Task orders may also incorporate FAR subpart 17.1 Multi-year Contracting and FAR subpart 17.2 Options. However, Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS)-applicable orders CANNOT have a base period longer than five years. OASIS+ supports both commercial and non-commercial requirements. OASIS+ does not allow agreements identified in FAR subpart 16.7.
These contract types can be used individually or in combination within a single task order comprising multiple CLINs. If using multiple contract types, please use separate CLINs for the work under each contract type and annotate each CLIN with the associated contract type, as this is important for clause selection and implementation.
For cost-reimbursement type task orders, the accounting system requirements at OASIS+ Contract Section G.3.1.9.1.1 Accounting System apply. OASIS+ contractors are NOT required to demonstrate that their accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to cost-reimbursement type contracts or orders in accordance with FAR 16.301-3(a)(3). Therefore, prior to awarding a cost-reimbursement type task order, Ordering Contracting Officers (OCOs) must determine if the contractor’s accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the task order.
Although not required, many contractors demonstrated adequate accounting systems prior to OASIS+ contract award. Contractors are required to maintain and update the status of their accounting system.
Also, CAS are applicable at the task order level. Therefore, the OCO is responsible for determining the applicability of CAS to any given task order. The OCO must then ensure that the contractor has made the required solicitation certifications and that the required disclosure statement has been submitted. The OCO must not award a CAS covered task order until the Cognizant Federal Agency Official (CFAO) has made a written determination that a required disclosure statement is adequate. The contractor is required to notify the OCO in writing for any CAS covered task orders about any revisions to the CAS Disclosure Statement or cost accounting practices. For additional CAS-specific considerations, see CAS-specific clauses and provisions.
OASIS+ has a five-year base period of performance with one option period of five years that may extend the cumulative term of the contract to 10 years in accordance with FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, if exercised by the OASIS+ CO(s). The master contract also includes FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, which may extend this period up to an additional six months, if exercised by the OASIS+ CO(s). Each OASIS+ master contract family has a unique ordering period of performance end date.
The period of performance for each task order awarded under the master contract shall be specified in the task order by the ordering agency. Task orders must be solicited and awarded prior to the master contract’s term expiring and may extend up to five years and six months (which includes the extension at FAR 52.217-8 clause, if applicable) after the term’s expiration.
Task order option periods may be exercised after the contract term expires as long as the final task order option period does not extend the cumulative term of the task order beyond five years and six months after the OASIS+ contract ordering term ends.
After the contract ordering term expires, the master contract terms and conditions will be actively administered by the government and the contractor until the contractor’s final task order is closed out. Therefore, the master contract terms and conditions shall remain in effect with respect to all active task orders until the last task order is closed out.
Contract access fee
The CAF rate is a flat 0.15%, applied to the total amount billed on each invoice (including ancillary support, travel, and profit) for all task orders.
Due to the low CAF rate, there are no Memorandums of Understanding with federal agencies that discount the established CAF rate; additionally, there is no cap/ceiling applicable to the CAF.
The task order solicitation should clearly express all requirements for security clearances, both facility and personnel. Please adhere to all classified handling procedures at all times.
Example for Classified work:
- Determine Contract Vehicle/Domain/NAICS code.
- Notify the applicable contract holders of an upcoming classified solicitation via the mandatory task order solicitation system (eBuy); request that interested contractors respond; include instructions for how the solicitation may be viewed; for example, location may be Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility or Secret Internet Protocol Router email instructions.
- Post the solicitation in a secure location (for example, distribute via Secret Internet Protocol Router emails).
- Review the offer and award task order.
- Notify GSA of the task order award by emailing [email protected] that an award has been made (a copy of the task order IS NOT required to be attached to the email) and include the total amount of CAF applicable to the task order.
