OASIS+ Small Business Set-Aside: Inside Amendment 0009
RFP 47QRCA23R0001, conformed copy dated July 7, 2026. What Phase II changed, what the current document actually requires, and where to verify it yourself.
OASIS+ (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services Plus) is GSA's Best-in-Class, governmentwide multiple-award IDIQ for non-IT professional services. RFP 47QRCA23R0001 is the Total Small Business Set-Aside track, one of six OASIS+ solicitations alongside Unrestricted, 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, and SDVOSB. Originally issued June 15, 2023, it has been amended nine times; Amendment 0009, dated July 7, 2026, is the 229-page conformed copy contractors should be working from today, current as of FAC 2026-01. Phase II reopened all six solicitations in January 2026 under a continuously open, rolling-award model and expanded the vehicle to thirteen professional services domains, twelve of which are biddable on the small business track. Everything below is taken from that conformed copy, with the section reference alongside it.
What happened, and when

What Phase II changed
If Phase I felt like a missed train for some small businesses, Phase II reopened the doors and added cars. Four shifts matter most for the SB set-aside track:
The catch in a continuously open vehicle: there is no forcing deadline to organise around. Teams that treat 47QRCA23R0001 as a live document, re-checking it each amendment, are the ones that on-ramp first.
The domains, and which ones you can actually bid
Section C.2 lists thirteen domains within scope of the Master Contract. On this solicitation, Enterprise Solutions is reserved for the Unrestricted contract, so twelve are biddable on the small business set-aside. Each of the twelve has its own qualifications matrix in Attachment J.P-1.
What Amendment 0009 actually says
The terms below are quoted from the conformed copy, with the governing section noted. Verify against the SAM.gov posting before you bid; those documents take precedence over anything else, including the portal.
| Term | What the RFP says | Section |
|---|---|---|
| Proposal due date | None. Continuously open, accepting submissions since January 12, 2026 until further notice. GSA may close the RFP at any time, potentially without advance notice. | L.3.4 |
| How to submit | Exclusively through the OASIS+ Submission Portal at oasis.app.cloud.gov. Any other method is not considered. Questions go through the portal too; the SAM.gov documents are the official solicitation. | L.3, L.4, B.12 |
| Qualifying threshold | 36 of 50 available credits per domain for every small business and socioeconomic set-aside. Offerors self-score against the domain matrix in Attachment J.P-1. | M.7, L.5.1.2 |
| Basis for award | All qualified offerors with a fair and reasonable price. Not LPTA, not tradeoff, no cap on the number of awards. Offers are measured against an objective threshold, never against each other. | M.3, M.3.1 |
| Scored elements | Qualifying project experience, federal prime contractor experience, business systems, rates and clearances, certifications (CMMI, ISO, FedRAMP, CMMC and more), and past performance. | L.5.2–L.5.6 |
| Reusing projects | The same project can be claimed across solicitations and across domains, but never twice within one domain and solicitation. Duplicates are struck from every proposal they appear in. | L.4 |
| Period of performance | Five-year base plus one five-year option, a ten-year cumulative term under FAR 52.217-9. | F.3 |
| Money on the table | $2,500 minimum guarantee per contract, and $250,000 in awarded task order value required before the end of year five or GSA may decline the option period. Contract access fee is 0.15% of each invoice, billed as its own CLIN and never negotiable. | B.4, B.11, H.21 |
| Staying on the vehicle | Frequent on-ramps, lateral springboarding between SB IDIQs, and add-domain modifications, balanced by dormant status and off-ramping if requirements are not met. | H.11–H.13 |
Where to find official information
A continuously open solicitation changes without a headline. Go to primary sources rather than secondhand summaries.
How VisibleThread helps on a continuously open vehicle
Nine amendments in, the hard part of 47QRCA23R0001 is not writing the response, it is knowing what the current document asks for. Every conformed copy resets the compliance baseline, and on a rolling-award vehicle there is no deadline forcing your team to re-read it.
VisibleThread shreds the conformed copy into a structured compliance matrix in minutes, diffs it against the previous amendment so you see exactly what moved, and tracks every obligation through to submission. It is deterministic, explainable AI, so in a scorecard-driven evaluation you are not trusting a black box for what the government actually asked for.
That is the specific problem OASIS+ Phase II creates. The broader one VisibleThread solves is the same regardless of vehicle: compliance tracking, amendment handling, content reuse across bids, readability and quality review, and a proposal workflow that carries you from RFP release to submission.

FAQ
Is the OASIS+ Small Business solicitation still open?
Yes. Section L.3.4 issues 47QRCA23R0001 as a continuously open RFP with no fixed deadline, accepting submissions from January 12, 2026 until further notice. GSA plans to give advance notice of any closure but reserves the right to close the solicitation at any time without it, announced via SAM.gov.
What is Amendment 0009?
Amendment 0009, issued July 7, 2026, is the current conformed copy of the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside RFP 47QRCA23R0001. The conformed copy is current as of FAC 2026-01, dated March 13, 2026, and runs to 229 pages.
How many domains can a small business bid on?
Twelve. Section C.2 lists thirteen domains in scope for the Master Contract, but Enterprise Solutions is reserved for the Unrestricted contract only. The other twelve, from management and advisory through social services, each carry their own qualifications matrix on the SB set-aside.
What score do we need to win a domain?
Section M.7 sets the qualifying threshold for all small business and socioeconomic set-asides at 36 out of 50 available credits per domain. Offers are measured against that objective standard rather than against each other, and awards go to all qualified offerors with a fair and reasonable price. There is no cap on the number of awards, and the source selection is neither LPTA nor tradeoff.
How are proposals submitted?
Exclusively through the OASIS+ Submission Portal at oasis.app.cloud.gov. Proposals sent by any other method will not be considered, and all solicitation questions must also go through the portal. Where the portal and the SAM.gov documents disagree, SAM.gov takes precedence.
What is the GAO protest threshold on OASIS+ task orders?
OASIS+ is a civilian IDIQ, so the GAO protest threshold for task orders is generally $10 million under FAR 16.505. That matters when you are weighing protest risk and competitive strategy at the order level.
What are the minimum guarantee and minimum sales requirements?
The minimum guaranteed task order award is $2,500 per contract for the full term of the Master Contract (B.4). Separately, H.21 requires $250,000 in awarded task order value before the end of the fifth year, or GSA may elect not to exercise the option period.
How long is the OASIS+ ordering period?
A five-year base period with one five-year option, extending the cumulative term to ten years under FAR 52.217-9.
