SECTION b – supplies or services and prices/costs

B.1. BACKGROUND

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

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

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

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

Hereafter, the “OASIS SB Contracting Officer” will be referred to as the “OASIS SB 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 SB under the authority of 40 U.S.C. 501.

B.1.3. Contract Type

OASIS SB 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 SB 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, performance based measures, 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 SB Contractor for the term of OASIS SB, including Option I, if exercised.

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

B.1.5. Contract Access Fee (CAF)

GSA operating costs associated with the management and administration of OASIS SB are recovered through a CAF. The CAF is a percentage of the total task order amount invoiced and the CAF percentage is set at the discretion of GSA. GSA maintains the unilateral right to change the percentage at any time. See Section G.3.1. for more details regarding CAF.

B.2. TASK ORDER PRICING

OASIS SB 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 SB task order.

B.2.1. Labor Categories and Standard Occupational Classifications

OASIS SB 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 of the OASIS SB labor categories except Subject Matter Experts 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 SB 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 SB 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 SB 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 OASIS SB Labor Categories and corresponding SOC Number that applies. The Contractor may deviate from the Junior, Journeyman, Senior, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) definitions in Section J.1., as long as the Contractor clearly identifies the deviation in their proposals. Additionally, the following qualification substitution chart applies:

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 SB 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.

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 SB 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 SB 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 SB, if the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Economic Cost Index for the previous three years is higher than at time of OASIS SB 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 SB, if the average annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Economic Cost Index for the previous three years is higher than Year 5 of OASIS SB, the ceiling rates for Years 11 through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage increase in accordance with the example above (Please see Section F.3 for information regarding the OASIS SB contract period of performance and task order performance). 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 SB for which there is not a labor category specified in OASIS SB 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 SB. 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 SB 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 SB.

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

B.3.4. Labor outside the Continental United States (OCONUS)

“OCONUS” is defined as other than the 48 contiguous states plus the District of Columbia. It is anticipated that there may be task orders for work OCONUS.

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Administration, Office of Allowances, publishes quarterly report indexes of living costs abroad, per-diem rate maximums, quarter’s allowances, hardship differentials, and danger pay allowances.

The Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) is the controlling regulations for allowances and benefits available to all U.S. Government civilians assigned to foreign areas. For task orders issued under OASIS SB, Contractor civilians assigned to foreign areas may receive the allowances and benefits in the DSSR but, shall not receive allowance and benefits in excess of those identified in the DSSR.

For OCONUS task orders where costs are not specifically addressed in the DSSR, the Government will reimburse the Contractor for all reasonable, allowable, and allocable costs in accordance with FAR 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, and other applicable agency specific regulatory supplements.

B.3.5. Travel

Travel costs may be firm fixed price or reimbursed at actual cost in accordance with the limitations set forth in FAR 31.205-46 and other applicable agency-specific regulatory supplements.

The Contractor may apply indirect costs to travel in accordance with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices.

B.3.6. Materials and Equipment

Material means property that may be consumed or expended during performance, component parts of a higher assembly, or items that lose their individual identity through incorporation into an end item.

Equipment means a tangible item that is functionally complete for its intended purpose, durable, nonexpendable, and needed for performance.

Materials and Equipment shall be priced in accordance with the terms of the task order award, contract type, and applicable FAR and agency-specific regulatory supplements. Unless otherwise directed by task order terms and conditions, the Contractor may apply indirect costs to materials and equipment consistent with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices.
