How iQuasar Helped a Client Win OASIS+ | iQuasar

The Client

The client is a certified 8(a) disadvantaged small business with years of proven experience in delivering superior Administrative, Logistical, Operational, and Information Technology services to federal government agencies. They have expertise in providing IT, Document Lifecycle, Training & Education, Supply Chain and Logistics Management, Program & Business Support, Operations & Maintenance, and Human Capital Management/Language Support Services. The client’s objective was to secure an OASIS+ Master Contract released by the General Services Administration (GSA) to access numerous task order opportunities relevant across multiple departments that utilize this vehicle.

Problem/Opportunity:

The client wanted to bid on OASIS+. They had already been awarded the previous iteration of OASIS and wanted to leverage that experience; their high-level goal was to win this next-generation OASIS contract as well to ensure they continued to reap the benefits of this master contract vehicle.

Outlines: The dedicated writer compiled outlines that were framed and changed based on the reviews after each variation of contract vehicle revisions/amendments (6 amendments). These revisions were carefully analyzed and reviewed to establish a change comparison pattern between the different requirements of these amendments. They ensured that the new versions were created as per the latest amendments for 100% compliance.
