USAID/M/OAA asked that we flag the following notice from GSA on a new services contract that is being developed. This new contract will replace OASIS, which USAID regularly uses, so it is important that you provide your input.
"On March 2, 2021, the GSA posted a request for information (RFI) for the new indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) best-in-class (BIC) multi-agency contract (MAC) contract program on beta.SAM.gov
This RFI is the first of several, and seeks feedback on various acquisition strategy topics. Responses to the survey will inform GSA's decision-making as this unique contract program is developed. All feedback provided will be reviewed and considered. The RFI will remain open through March 17, 2021
To help ensure everyone understands the concepts being presented in the survey, an overview of the concepts and a preview of the RFI survey is provided. It is recommended that industry review the document fully and have a copy available to reference before responding to the survey questions. Note, only responses received in the RFI survey on beta.SAM will be considered.
To supplement the RFI, an Industry Day to discuss this new contract program is scheduled for April 1, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). Industry Day will focus on sharing information about the program's acquisition planning work and answering questions about the plans for the new contract program. Click here to register."
Any questions related to the RFI should be emailed to PSHC-dev@gsa.gov
