Federal Acquisition Service What is the difference between PSS and OASIS? OASIS is a Multiple Award IDIQ Contract (MAC) - Ordering Procedures are FAR PSS is a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) - Ordering procedures are FAR 8.4 OASIS creates standardized labor categories and also allows for creation of customized labor categories at the task order level when necessary. PSS has standardized SINs which are broad in scope to allow for customized labor category descriptions from each firm OASIS is the first Government-wide IDIQ contract to implement the new Code of Federal Regulation requirement for multiple NAICS codes and size standards. PSS is slated to move towards the multiple NAICS concept in FY

Federal Acquisition Service What is the difference between PSS and OASIS? OASIS does not contain any pre set rates or ceiling rates for any task order other than sole source time and material task orders. PSS does contain set rates established at time of award with allowance for escalation; OASIS allows cost-reimbursable professional service solutions that are not available on other GSA acquisition vehicles. PSS allows fixed price or Labor Hour pricing only. 21

Federal Acquisition Service What are the similarity between PSS and Oasis? Both programs afford the client agency the ability to obtain solutions to their complex acquisition needs. Both programs are managed in Region 10 and have an experienced contracting staff ready to assist customers and industry partners. Both programs, while different in scope and usage, offer the same quality services to the agencies! With these programs, there is no professional services contracting need that can’t be met! 22

Federal Acquisition Service Key Message/Value Proposition Consolidating GSA’s Professional Services Schedules will provide agencies a total service solutions to complex professional services requirements using ONE contract vehicle as versus multiple contracts. One PSS saves time and eliminates confusion often associated with managing a cadre of contracts to successfully complete requirements within a timely, efficient manner. Customer can still access whether by name or SIN. (No change to key word searches!) 23
