This information was intended to help determine the acquisition strategy.
Current Action - Alternative Vehicle Suggestions
The Government is considering the GSA One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus Small Business (OASIS+ SB) contract vehicle for the anticipated Request for Proposal (RFP). However, the acquisition strategy is not finalized, and the Contracting Officer is open to, and will actively consider, alternative contracting vehicles suggested by industry. Interested parties should recommend suitable Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), Multiple Award Contracts (MACs), or agency-specific vehicles, including the vehicle name, your company's contract number, and a brief rationale for its suitability.
Acquisition Strategy & Set-Aside
While the metadata indicates a Total Small Business Set-Aside, this Sources Sought is for planning purposes. The Government will use market research to determine its final acquisition strategy, which may include a set-aside for small businesses (in full or in part) or full and open competition, with the possibility of multiple awards. Partnering is encouraged.
