Explore the strategic opportunity of the reopened OASIS Small Business Pool 2 for small businesses specializing in accounting, tax preparation, and related services.
The reopening of OASIS Small Business Pool 2 represents a crucial prospect for small businesses, especially those focusing on accounting, tax preparation, payroll, and other similar services. They now have the opportunity to secure a long-term government contract. But how, you wonder? Let's dive deeper into understanding what this update entails and how businesses can adequately prepare for the on-ramping process.
The vast umbrella of services included in this pool includes everything from offices of Certified Public Accountants to Tax Preparation, Payroll, Other Accounting Services, and even Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities. It essentially covers a wide array of professional service requirements.
For companies that were eyeing this opportunity, the Proposal Submission Deadline was a crucial date. Until January 10, 2017, they could submit their proposals for consideration. This solicitation was made prominent on FedBizOpps under Solicitation GS00Q-13-DR-0002.
Breaking down the OASIS contract, it's essentially a multiple award, IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity) contract. It provides innovative and flexible solutions for complex professional services. This encompasses various categories, including program management, management consulting, logistics, engineering, scientific, and financial services.
It's worth mentioning that each OASIS contract has a performance period of 5 years. This, however, does come with an extension option of another 5 years.
A draft solicitation was posted by GSA on FedBizOpps announcing the on-ramping of additional small businesses into Pool 2. The current aim is to make 31 additional awards to achieve the initial goal of 40 awards in Pool 2 due to underutilization.
