About this opportunity
The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice to extend OASIS Small Business Pool 6 contracts by 30 days, from December 19, 2024 to January 18, 2025, supporting the Air National Guard Readiness Center Innovation Office's Research, Test, Evaluation, Modernization, and Innovation Support (ARTEMIS) requirement. The extension, covering a Task Order Request for Proposal (TORFP) #47QFSA24R0005, allows for completing proposal evaluations and potential protest resolution, with an additional 180-day contingency option period. The procurement involves program management, systems engineering, digital engineering, hardware/software prototyping, testing, integration, modeling and simulation, and related services, with an approximate value of $636.6M. Five OASIS SB Pool 6 contractors submitted proposals before the July 15, 2024 closing date, with the specific contractors from those submissions remaining eligible for task order award. While the exact awarded vendor was not specified in the notice, GSA AAS has already invested $800,249 in acquisition planning and evaluation, supporting multiple Department of Defense mission partners including AFWERX, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the US Space Force Space Systems Center.
Notice text
This justification supported the extension of the OASIS SB contracts for offerors to the GSA Assisted Acquisition Service’s (AAS) Task Order Request for Proposal (TORFP) 47QFSA24R0005 in support of the Air National Guard Readiness Center Innovation Office (ARCWERX) Research, Test, Evaluation, Modernization, and Innovation Support (ARTEMIS) requirement by 30 days from their current ordering period, which expired on December 19, 2024, to a new ordering period end date of January 18, 2025. This extension allowed for TORFP evaluations to conclude and placement of the task order identified in this justification to be finalized. An additional 180-day ordering period "contingency option" was included in the extension to accommodate protest resolution should a protest be filed against the task order. If a protest is filed and the outcome requires the issuance of a new solicitation (not an amended TORFP), the ordering contracting officer will NOT be able to utilize OASIS SB for the recompete. The 180-day contingency option period may be exercised, if needed, only to allow ample time for the protest and any corrective action to be resolved.
The specific contractors listed in the attached justification and submitted TORFP proposals remain the only contractors eligible for task order award. The TORFP was issued and competed among all OASIS SB Pool 6 contractors, and proposals were received prior to the contracts' original ordering period date of December 19, 2024. All contractors who responded to the TORFP are subject to the individual extensions documented herein.
Awarded contract 47QFSA24R0005 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2024-12-18.
