Make changes to your contract

OASIS+ contractors holding an active Master Contract (i.e., not currently in Dormant Status) in one or more of the five SB IDIQs may, during an on-ramp period, submit a proposal to hold an additional Master Contract in one of the socioeconomic SB set-asides or the total SB set-aside IDIQ through Lateral Springboarding.

However, a contractor may not hold more than one Master Contract within any IDIQ (e.g., two SB Master Contracts or two SDVOSB Master Contracts are prohibited). In order to qualify, the contractor must represent as the required socioeconomic business type for the requested SB socioeconomic IDIQ (e.g. WOSB, SDVOSB).

OASIS+ contractors seeking to apply any or all of the previously awarded Domains held on their existing Master Contract(s) will only be awarded those Domain CLINs in which the contractor does not exceed the represented size standard identified in Section C.2.

The process for the Lateral Springboarding will require the submission of the following documents to the OASIS+ CO via a FedConnect message:

1. Current Representations and Certifications from Section K indicating the relevant socioeconomic categories to which the proposal applies as well as the business size at the time of Lateral Springboarding request submission (i.e., date of offer submission). 

2. Written confirmation that the ceiling labor rates established on the existing contract are still valid. 

3. Attachment J.P-14, Lateral Springboarding Summary Sheet that indicates the QPs submitted under the currently awarded Domains on the currently held IDIQ(s) identifying those that were performed by an SBA-certified concern for the socioeconomic program applicable to the requested IDIQ(s).

Note: A price proposal submission is not required as part of Lateral Springboarding.

If proposing new, additional Domains, the contractor shall follow the requirements as outlined in Section H.11.3 Add Domain Modification Procedures. If the contractor proposes to add Domains and laterally spring-board, these would be processed as separate actions, and the contractor must coordinate with the OASIS+ CO.

To facilitate this springboarding, and in order to maximize participation across the OASIS+ IDIQs, contractors are encouraged to notify the OASIS+ CO when SB socioeconomic categories applicable to the OASIS+ program are obtained.

Note: For a lateral springboard request, Contractors are limited to using only the team members listed on their existing OASIS+ contract. Furthermore, the submission cannot include any new or additional QPs beyond those presented in the Contractor’s original, successful proposal, as well as currently awarded Domains, in order to meet the requirements outlined in the applicable Solicitation Section L.5.2.2.

The procedures under this section provide existing OASIS+ Contractors the opportunity to submit a proposal to add one or more Domains that they do not already hold under their currently awarded contract(s) through a contract modification. Add Domain Modification procedures will only be available when the applicable contract’s solicitation is open and accepting offers for the applicable Domain(s). To be considered for an Add Domain Modification, the Contractor must have signed any outstanding contract modifications and submitted the following to the OASIS+ CO via the OSP:

A proposal in response to the current OASIS+ solicitation. Additionally:

1. the proposal must meet all of the criteria of the applicable OASIS+ solicitation, including a representation of size as of the date of the new Domain(s) proposal submission, including all team members, and; 

2. the proposal must receive an evaluated score equal to or higher than the qualification threshold for the proposed Domain(s).

Notes: A price proposal submission is not required as part of Add Domain Modification. Contractors are also not required to submit responsibility information with the Add Domain Modification request, unless requested by the OASIS+ CO.

A Contractor is allowed to propose additional QPs under an Add Domain Modification. If a Contractor elects to add proposed subcontractors in order to qualify for additional Domains, then the size of the additional team members shall be included in the Contracting Officer’s determination of size as described in Section C.1.1, and the previously awarded CLINs may be affected. For example, if a Contractor adds a proposed subcontractor whose size is larger than the original team’s size, then any previously awarded CLINs where the team as a whole no longer represents as a small business for the corresponding size standard will be placed into Dormant Status. Additionally, if a Contractor adds a proposed subcontractor whose size is larger than the original team’s size, and the team as a whole no longer represents as a small business for the corresponding size standard for all CLINs under any of its awarded Domains, then the affected Domain(s) will be placed into Dormant Status.

If a Contractor does not add any subcontractors under its Add Domain Modification request, then the Contracting Officer’s size determination will be based on the contractor’s, including all team members, size at the time of initial OASIS+ offer submission.

A Contractor shall not modify its CTA to remove team members from its initial proposal and awarded contract.

Upon approval of the Add Domain Modification request by the OASIS+ CO, the contract will be modified to add the CLINs under that Domain in which the Contractor does not exceed the represented size standard identified in Section C.2. The awarded CLINs (and associated NAICS Codes) represent the fair opportunity pools in which the awardee may compete. An Offeror will not be awarded any CLINs in which it represents its size as other than small unless an exception to affiliation exists set forth in 13 CFR § 121.103(b).

To be eligible for an Add Domain Modification the contract must be in an active status. Contracts in Dormant Status will not be eligible for Add Domain Modifications.
