The General Services Administration has added 53 small businesses to its list of apparent awardees for OASIS+, the massive government-wide contract vehicle for professional services not tech-centric in nature.
GSA made these selections for the 8(a) track of OASIS+ and this move now opens the window for size challenges, or protests that question whether or not these companies are in fact small businesses.
In its Wednesday unveiling of the list, GSA said it plans to send this group of 53 formal notices-to-proceed by Sept. 30. Agencies can then start acquiring services from the group the following day, or Oct. 1.
The OASIS+ 8(a) track has 489 companies participating as official awardees, while the vehicle’s overall small business awardee count stands at 2,823 so far.
