How do I submit a contract modification?
When requesting modifications or submitting changes or any other updates to your contract information, please submit your modification request and all necessary documentation via FedConnect.
FedConnect allows for bi-directional communication between the government and contractors and is tracked automatically. Please be aware, when requesting a modification via FedConnect there is a file size limit of 25 MB per individual file, or 100 MB per response or message. For more information about FedConnect, please review the FedConnect support page and if you have any additional questions, email oasisplusmods@gsa.gov.
How do I request novations?
Once all documentation have been gathered, a novation must be requested through FedConnect.
Note: Please reference the OASIS+ Solicitation section, G.3.1.7.1 Mergers, Acquisitions, Novations, And Change-of-Name Agreements, for specific information on the process to request novations.
NOTE: Please use the designated email address above when contacting OASIS+ rather than using individual team members email accounts. This ensures your requests and questions are properly and quickly routed for assistance at all times.
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+ Contracting Officer (CO):
1. A cover letter on company letterhead, signed and dated by an authorized negotiator, or officer of the company summarizing the request to hold another IDIQ Master Contract.
2. Current Representations and Certifications from Section K indicating the relevant socioeconomic categories to which the proposal applies.
3. A Lateral Springboarding summary sheet that indicates the currently awarded Domains on the currently held IDIQ(s) with cross mapping to the eligible Domains of 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 Domain Enhancement Procedures. If the contractor proposes to add Domains and laterally spring-board in conjunction, 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.
Domain enhancement is only available when solicitations are accepting new offers.
Domain Enhancement provides existing OASIS+ contractors the opportunity to submit a proposal to add Domains that they do not already hold under their currently awarded contract(s) through a contract modification. To be considered for Domain Enhancement, the Contractor must submit all of the following to the OASIS+ CO:
1. Cover letter on company letterhead, signed and dated by the COCM or authorized designee with signatory authority identifying the requested Domain(s) to be added.
2. Proposal in response to the current or most recent OASIS+ solicitation.
Additionally,
a. the proposal must meet all of the criteria of the applicable OASIS+ solicitation, and:
b. the proposal must receive an evaluated score equal to or higher than the qualification threshold for the proposed Domain(s).
Note: A price proposal submission is not required as part of Domain Enhancement. Contractors are also not required to submit responsibility information with the Domain Enhancement request, unless requested by the OASIS+ CO.
Upon approval of the Domain Enhancement modification request by the CO, the contract will be modified to add those Domain CLINs 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. Offerors will not be awarded any Domain 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).
If a contractor submits a Domain Enhancement request and is found to be unqualified for award of the requested Domain(s) by the OASIS+ CO (i.e., its proposal does not meet all of the applicable criteria and/or did not receive an evaluated score equal to or higher than the applicable qualification threshold(s)), the contractor shall be ineligible to submit another Domain Enhancement request for the same Domain(s) for 180 calendar days from notification of rejection.
Based on what is in the best interest of the Government and depending upon the needs of various customer agencies, GSA reserves the right whether or not to accept Domain Enhancement requests at any given time, and may limit requests to only one or more targeted Domain(s).
