27 September 2024 Update:
Availability of GSA OASIS+ MAC IDIQ has been delayed due to protest(s), however, EPASS has begun preliminary market research utilizing SAM.gov by posting open RFIs for the remaining Round 3 FOCs to identify Domain/NAICS. This update is intended for those interested parties who expect to be issued a "Notice to Proceed" on the OASIS+ SB MAC once the protest has been resolved.
NOTE: EPASS is a 100% small business set-aside program. We are committed to maximizing opportunities for small businesses, as it is a foundational part of our acquisition strategy. Due to industry concerns, EPASS has carefully taken the appropriate measures to adjust the qualifications for competing for follow-on work. These measures are intended to keep EPASS work grounded in its foundation, operating in accordance with small business regulations,and supporting the DoD and DAF Small Business Programs. In addition, we acknowledge that implementing federal government-driven strategic sourcing has resulted in larger task orders, but we remain committed to promoting small business opportunities regardless of task order size.
