PART I – THE SCHEDULE

SECTION A – SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

A.1. NOTICES TO OFFERORS

This is a Request for Information (RFI) in the form of a Draft Solicitation. GSA is soliciting feedback on this Draft Solicitation to finalize the solicitation that will be used in the upcoming OASIS acquisitions for the unrestricted and small business contract.

A.1.1. FAR 52.215-3 Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (OCT 1997)

(a) The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this solicitation or to otherwise pay for the information solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subsection 31.205-18, Bid and proposal costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

(b) Although “proposal” and “Offeror” are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal.

(c) This solicitation is issued for the purpose of soliciting feedback in anticipation of releasing a final request for proposals. The intent of this exercise is twofold: to share the Government's intent to issue a solicitation and to provide opportunity to assist the Government in creating the highest quality solicitation possible. This draft solicitation represents a long-running collaborative effort between the GSA OASIS office, potential Government clients, and Industry. Interested parties are encouraged to ask questions and/or identify elements of the solicitation that seem unclear or require editing. While the Government is soliciting feedback in all areas of this document, the Government would like to receive feedback specifically on the following topics.

Please provide specific details and rationale.

1. Are the proposal submission requirements in Section L clear?

2. Are the evaluation factors and methodology in Section M clear?

3. The overall evaluation strategy and relative importance of the three (3) scored areas of “Past Performance”, “Relevant Experience”, and “Systems, Certifications, and Resources”.

4. Would this contract incentivize awardees to bring business to OASIS?

5. Are the contract reporting requirements in line with what information Contractors readily track and/or can provide without excessive additional expense?

6. Recommended changes and/or identify elements of the solicitation that seem very strong and should remain.

All questions, comments, and suggestions are due no later than Monday APRIL 29, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time via e-mail submission to oasis@gsa.gov.

For specific clarification questions regarding the solicitation, please use the OASIS draft solicitation’s Request for Information (RFI) Template provided in Section J.10., Attachment (10). Interested parties may submit feedback any number of times prior to the due date.

Prior to the issuance of the final solicitation, it is the OASIS Program Office’s intent to consolidate all the feedback from this draft and provide responses during a collaborative forum at a date, time, and location to be determined. The OASIS Program Office wishes to thank all interested parties in advance for your assistance during this process as well as thank all of those who have provided insight, suggestions, and feedback prior to this draft request for information. Please continue to monitor our online blog for forthcoming information regarding OASIS at https://interact.gsa.gov/group/oasis-industry-community

A.1.2. GSAR 552.219-71 Notice to Offerors of Subcontracting Plan Requirements (MAR 2012)

The General Services Administration (GSA) is committed to assuring that maximum practicable opportunity is provided to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns to participate in the performance of this contract consistent with its efficient performance. GSA expects any subcontracting plan submitted pursuant to FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, to reflect this commitment.

Consequently, an Offeror, other than a small business concern, before being awarded a contract exceeding $650,000 ($1,500,000 for construction), must demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors in the performance of this contract.

(End of provision)

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES/COSTS

B.1. BACKGROUND

One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) is designed to address agencies’ need for a full range of service requirements that integrate multiple professional service disciplines and ancillary services with the flexibility for all contract types and pricing at the task order level.

The services to be provided under the OASIS master contract are intended to meet the professional service mission requirements of all Federal agencies, including all organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD). The scope of professional services under the master contract is defined in Section C.

Hereafter, the “OASIS master contract” will be referred to as “OASIS”.

B.1.1. Authority

The Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is specifically authorized to purchase supplies and non-personal services on behalf of other agencies under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act (40 U.S.C. 501).

The authority for the award and administration of OASIS and the delegation of authority for the award and administration of task orders under OASIS are defined in Section G.

Hereafter, the “OASIS Contracting Officer” will be referred to as the “OASIS CO” and the “Ordering Contracting Officer” at the task order level will be referred to as the “OCO”.

B.1.2. Economy Act

In accordance with FAR 17.502-2(b), the Economy Act does not apply to task orders awarded under OASIS under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 501.

B.1.3. Contract Type

OASIS is a Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) task order contract for Government-wide professional service based requirements which is available for use by all Federal agencies and other entities as listed in General Services Administration (GSA) Order ADM 4800.2G, Eligibility to use GSA Sources and Supply; dated, [TBD], as amended.

OASIS allows for all contract types at the task order level (e.g., Cost-Reimbursement (all types), Fixed-Price (all types), Time-and-Materials, and Labor-Hour). Task orders may also combine more than one contract type (e.g., FFP/Cost, FFP/Labor Hour etc.). Additionally, task orders may include incentives, multi-year or option periods, and commercial or non-commercial items.

B.1.4. Minimum Guarantee and Maximum Ceiling

The minimum guarantee is $100 for each OASIS Contractor for the term of OASIS, including Option I, if exercised. The maximum OASIS ceiling for all task orders combined, including Option I, if exercised, is [TBD].

Up to the maximum OASIS ceiling amount, an unlimited number of task orders may be placed under OASIS for the term of OASIS, including Option I, if exercised. There is no minimum or maximum task order dollar limitation for each individual task order placed under OASIS.

B.1.5. Contract Access Fee (CAF)

The CAF reimburses GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) for the cost of operating the OASIS program. The CAF is determined solely by GSA and is not negotiable between the Contractor and ordering agency. The CAF represents a percentage to be paid to GSA based upon the paid invoice total regardless of contract type (See Section G.3.1.).

B.2. TASK ORDER PRICING

OASIS provides all Federal agencies the flexibility to determine fair and reasonable pricing tailored to the ordering agency’s requirement dependent upon level of competition, risk, uncertainties, complexity, urgency, and contract type. The OCO has the authority and responsibility for the determination of cost or price reasonableness for their agency’s task order requirements. Adequate price competition at the task order level, in response to an individual requirement, establishes the most accurate, fair, and reasonable pricing for that requirement.

The OCO shall identify the applicable contract type for all CLINs in each OASIS task order.

B.2.1. Labor Categories and Standard Occupational Classifications

OASIS provides standardized labor categories that correspond to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) maintains compensation data.

In accordance with Section J.1., Attachment (1), all but one of the OASIS labor categories, Subject Matter Expert, are either an individual labor category that is mapped to a single SOC and functional description or a labor category group that is mapped to multiple SOC Numbers and functional descriptions. The OASIS labor category groups were established based upon BLS published data regarding similar direct labor compensation within a grouping of multiple SOC numbers and functional descriptions.

The Contractor shall become proficient in the use of the BLS SOC system in preparation for submitting cost/price proposals under task order solicitations. OCOs will be trained by GSA in the use of the SOC direct labor pricing estimates for their task order requirements, which incorporates pricing considerations for over 640 metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas in the CONUS and US territories.

For each SOC, the BLS provides a National 50th Percentile estimate, a National 75th Percentile estimate, and a National 90th Percentile estimate. This information will be provided to OCOs and Contractors as a hyperlink on the official GSA OASIS webpage at www.gsa.gov/oasis.

Also identified are the states where each occupation is paid the highest. While not identified on the BLS website, the BLS provides a 50th Percentile estimate, a 75th Percentile estimate, and a 90th Percentile estimate for each SOC in each state, metropolitan, and non-metropolitan area in the United States. This information will be provided to OCOs and Contractors on the official GSA OASIS webpage at www.gsa.gov/oasis.

Except for ancillary labor as defined under Section B.3., when responding to a request for proposal under task order solicitations, regardless of contract type, the Contractor shall identify both Prime and Subcontractor labor using the Labor ID Numbers, OASIS Labor Categories, as well as, the corresponding SOC Number that applies. The Contractor may deviate from the Junior, Journeyman, and Senior definitions in Section J.1., as long as the Contractor clearly identifies the deviation in their proposals.

B.2.2. Fixed Price Task Orders

Fixed price is defined under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.2, Fixed-Price Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.

B.2.3. Cost Reimbursement Task Orders

Cost Reimbursement is defined under FAR Subpart 16.3, Cost-Reimbursement Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements. FAR Part 30, Cost Accounting Standards Administration and FAR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, may apply to cost-reimbursement task orders.

The Contractor shall have and maintain an adequate accounting system that will permit timely development of all necessary cost data in the form required by the proposed contract type.

The Contractor may be required to submit a cost proposal with supporting information for each cost element, including, but not limited to, direct labor, fringe benefits, overhead, general and administrative (G&A) expenses, facilities capital cost of money, other direct costs, and fee consistent with their cost accounting system, provisional billing rates, forward pricing rate agreements, and/or CAS.

Cost Reimbursement task orders shall only be used for the acquisition of non-commercial items.

B.2.4. Incentive Task Orders

Incentives are defined under FAR Subpart 16.4, Incentive Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.

B.2.5. T&M and L-H Task Orders

Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) is defined under FAR Subpart 16.6, T&M and L-H Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.

The Contractor may provide separate and/or blended loaded hourly labor rates for prime Contractor labor, each Subcontractor, and/or each Division, Subsidiary, or Affiliate in accordance with the provisions set forth in FAR 52.216-29, DFARs 252.216-7002, FAR 52.216-30, or FAR 52.216-31. The OCO must identify which provision is applicable in the task order solicitation and the Contractor must comply with the provision.

T&M and L-H task orders require the OASIS standardized labor categories and their associated rates to be identified in the task order award document.

Ancillary subcontract labor shall be proposed and awarded as Materials in accordance with FAR 52.232-7, Payments under Time-and-Materials and Labor-Hour Contracts.

B.2.5.1. Ceiling Rates for T&M and L-H Task Orders

When preparing solicitations for T&M and/or L-H task order Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), the OCO must select one of the following provisions in the task order solicitation.

1. FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition

2. FAR 52.216-30 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Non-Commercial Item Acquisition Without Adequate Price Competition

3. FAR 52.216-31 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements—Commercial Item Acquisition

For organizations within DoD, when selecting FAR 52.216-29, the OCO must also select DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A.

When the provision FAR 52.216-30,Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Non Commercial Item Acquisitions Without Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements--Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is an exception to fair opportunity, OASIS establishes maximum allowable labor rates in the form of fully burdened ceiling rates for all professional, non-ancillary, CONUS, T&M/L-H labor for both Government and Contractor Sites. Based on the specific task order requirements, the OCO is authorized to exceed the OASIS ceiling rates for those labor categories that include Secret/Top Secret/SCI labor and/or OCONUS locations, if necessary.

The ceiling rates do not apply when the provision FAR 52.216-29 Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements— Non-Commercial Item Acquisition With Adequate Price Competition is selected or; FAR 52.216-29 with DFARs 252.216-7002, Alternate A, is selected or; FAR 52.216-31, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour Proposal Requirements-Commercial Item Acquisition is selected and there is not an exception to fair opportunity.

In Year 5 of OASIS, if the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Economic Cost Index for the previous three years is higher than at time of OASIS award, the ceiling rates for Years 6 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase. For example, if the average index was 2.23% at time of proposal submission and the average index is 3.16% in Year 5, the ceiling rates for years 6 through 15 will be adjusted by 0.93% per year on a cumulative basis. If the average index in Year 5 is equal to or below the average index at time of award, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged. In Year 10 of OASIS, if the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Economic Cost Index for the previous three years is higher than Year 5 of OASIS, the ceiling rates for Years 11 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase in accordance with the example above. If the average index in Year 10 is equal to or below the average index in Year 5, the ceiling rates will remain unchanged. The ceiling rates that are in effect at the time a task order is awarded shall remain with the task order award during the entire term of the task order, including task orders with option periods.

B.3. ANCILLARY SUPPORT

Other ancillary support, integral and necessary as part of a total integrated solution within the scope of OASIS for which there is not a labor category specified in OASIS or includes other direct costs such as travel, materials, equipment, Subcontractors, etc., to obtain a total professional service solution, are allowable costs and may be included within an individual task order under OASIS. The Contractor should propose and identify each ancillary service separately and the OCO should identify each ancillary service by a separate CLIN on the task order award.

The Contractor shall report in the OASIS Management Module all ancillary labor in accordance with Section G.3.2.

B.3.1. Specialized Professional Services Labor

Specialized professional services labor is defined as bona fide executive, administrative, or professional skills for which the expertise required or duties performed are within the scope of OASIS but, are so specialized that they are not explicitly defined in any labor category description in Section J.1., Attachment (1). The Contractor may propose specialized professional services labor when proposing ancillary support; however, the OCO will determine whether circumstances merit the use of specialized professional skills. Whenever possible, this specialized professional labor shall be mapped to the BLS SOC.

If the use of specialized professional services labor becomes frequent, additional labor categories and their associated ceiling rates may be added by bi-lateral modification to OASIS.

B.3.2. Labor Subject to the Davis Bacon Act (DBA)

To the extent that any ancillary labor for construction, alteration and repair are within the scope of OASIS and subject to the DBA in accordance with FAR Subpart 22.4 and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements, the OCO must identify such work in the task order solicitation, including DBA wage determinations.

OASIS does not include clauses applicable to any construction, alteration, or repair work that is part of a total solution within the scope of OASIS. The OCO must incorporate the appropriate clauses and provisions in each task order solicitation and subsequent award when the DBA applies.

B.3.3. Labor Subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA)

The OASIS labor categories, identified in Section J.1., are considered bona fide executive, administrative, and professional labor that is exempt from the SCA.

To the extent that any ancillary labor for services are within the scope of OASIS and subject to the SCA in accordance with FAR Subpart 22.10 and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements, the OCO must identify such work in the task order solicitation, including SCA wage determinations.

OASIS does not include clauses applicable to any SCA work that is part of a total solution within the scope of OASIS. The OCO must incorporate the appropriate clauses and provisions in each task order solicitation and subsequent award when the SCA applies.
