17 3. GOVERNMENTWIDE MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS (MACS) Governmentwide Multiple Awards Contracts (MACs) are contract vehicles that allow any Federal Agency to buy goods or services through a contract sponsored by a specific Agency. They are often, but no exclusively, for non-it services that are otherwise covered by GWACs. Page 15 of 35

18 3.1 OASIS (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services) OASIS was developed in response to the government s substantial need for a hybrid, government-wide MAC that provides a streamlined solution for both commercial and noncommercial professional service based requirements. OASIS is designed to reduce duplication of contracting efforts across the government and provide federal agencies with comprehensive, integrated professional services contract options. OASIS allows Ancillary Support necessary to deliver a total solution such as labor, materials, and ODCs, including IT support. Through OASIS, agencies can buy professional services such as program management, management and consulting, engineering, logistics, scientific services and financial services. Cutting across each of the core disciplines are eight lifecycle phases where agencies may need professional services support, such as requirements analysis, concept development, planning, acquisition, research and development, test and evaluation, implementation, and operations and maintenance. Services under OASIS span 28 NAICS codes and 6 exceptions or 34 codes/exceptions in all. These 34 codes/exceptions are allocated among 7 NAICS code pools. All codes/exceptions in a pool share a common small business (SB) size standard. Agencies can solicit task order proposals from contractors holding awards in the pool with the NAICS code that matches the agency s requirement. SGT has contracts in 6 pools (see contract numbers below). For a list of applicable NAICS codes for each pool, see the end of this contract vehicle description. Contract Type: Governmentwide MAC Sponsoring Agency: GSA Contract Numbers: GS00Q14OADU133 (Pool 1); GS00Q14OADU332 (Pool 3); GS00Q14OADU431 (Pool 4); GS00Q14OADU518 (Pool 5A); GS00Q14OADU618 (Pool 5B); GS00Q14OADU730 (Pool 6) Contract Expiration Date: Ordering period will be 10 years from Notice to Proceed (9/3/2014 9/2/2024); Performance Period will be 15 years from Notice to Proceed (until 9/2/2029) Program Ceiling: None Number of Awardees: Varies by Pool, ~42 in each Pool Availability: Any Federal Agency (ordering CO must have Delegation of Procurement Authority) Access Fee: Maximum of 0.75% of total Task Order cost access fee will be on a sliding scale with lower fees for agencies that order more work Task Order Types: Any type (i.e., T&M, LH, FFP, Cost), including hybrids of two or more types Page 16 of 35

19 OASIS (continued) Performance Area: CONUS and OCONUS Standardized labor categories and qualifications levels with the ability to index each category hourly price to over 600 precise geographic locations 104 OASIS LCATs (individual and groups and priced at the master contract level) cover 127 OMB SOC occupations and over 1,000 typical industry job titles Flexibility to add additional subcontractors or labor categories as required to meet evolving or specialized requirements, or ancillary requirements Scope: The scope of OASIS covers professional services in the areas of program management, management consulting, scientific services, engineering, logistics, and financial services, as well as ancillary support services and products (such as IT), across all lifecycle phases of a project.

Work will be detailed in individual task orders. Task orders are then competed amongst the partners. By using these pre-qualified partners, the SPARC procurement timeline is shortened and more flexible compared to a full and open competition. Customers have the additional advantages of reduced paperwork, cost-effective rates, and competitive bids on each task order solicited. SPARC Contacts CMS customers should reach out to their respective Office of Acquisitions and Grant Management (OAGM) counterparts (Contracting Officer-CO, Contract Specialist-CS) HHS Operational Divisions should contact their respective contract shop Creating a SPARC Task Order Planning and Documentation As a SPARC customer, it is your responsibility to plan and document your task order. The pace of planning each task order is under your control. Planning the acquisition includes defining requirements, determining the budget, and developing the solicitation documentation. While planning your task order, in conjunction with your Contracting Officer, determine the contract type and type of competition you d like to employ for your task order. Market research must be conducted for all unrestricted task orders. Required Documentation See the links and downloads at the bottom of this page for tools and templates to get started Statement of Work or Statement of Objectives Independent Government Cost Estimates Acquisition Plan or Simple Acquisition Plan Sources Sought COR Certificate Page 26 of 35

29 SPARC (continued) Competition Type The IDIQ contract is divided into 2 pools, a small business pool and an unrestricted pool, so that a portion of the tasks can be reserved for small business participation. Unrestricted all vendors can bid Restricted only small business vendors may bid Small Business set aside set aside for specific small business socioeconomic categories Sole Source possible with 8(a), under 4 million Note: CMS will conduct small business sources sought notices and assessments for all task orders not unilaterally set aside for small business by the task order Contracting Officer (CO). For any unrestricted task orders, the task order CO will include the Small Business Participation element as an evaluation factor for large business contractors. Solicitation Once OAGM has approved all necessary documents, the solicitation can be issued on SPARC. This process will take approximately days and includes fielding questions from SPARC partners, receiving notices of intent, and proposal submission. Proposal Evaluation After proposals are submitted, the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) convenes and reviews proposals. Award Once the TEP completes evaluation of the proposals, OAGM will issue the award for the Task Order. Post-Award Following the award, OAGM and the customer will conduct kick-off the selected partner(s). As a best practice, ensure motivation of SPARC partners by periodically reviewing performance and submitting to OAGM.
