GSA is gearing up to open Phase II of the OASIS+ Professional Services contract, and they are considering feedback from industry before they release the final solicitation. In July 2025, GSA’s Office of Professional Services and Human Capital Categories (PSHC) closed the Request for Information (RFI) for Phase II of OASIS+. GSA received over 1200 responses and over 240 questions in this RFI, so let’s review the Q&A and what we know about the upcoming OASIS+ Phase II so far.

More changes are coming for GSA Schedule contractors—GSA will introduce a new consolidated Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause in Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Solicitation Refresh #29. Once added to the solicitation, this clause will replace and eliminate the legacy EPA clauses 552.216-70 and I-FSS-969. With this change, GSA hopes to make price changes more standard across the MAS Program, and give Contracting Officers (COs) as well as contractors more flexibility in GSA Schedule pricing.

Whether you’ve been a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractor for a few months or several years, you’re no stranger to changes within GSA by now. GSA often pushes out regular updates to the MAS Solicitation, but with the Trump Administration enacting major changes to federal procurement, we are seeing a lot of Solicitation Refreshes. The newest MAS Refresh #29 is expected to be released by the end of August 2025. Once it’s out, you’ll need to review and accept the Mass Modification within 90 days, so here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming changes to the Solicitation.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) has been the foundation of federal contracting for over four decades, and the government is looking to completely overhaul it for the first time since its creation. More commonly referred to as the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), the Trump Administration plans to take a magnifying glass to FAR regulations and return it to its “statutory roots”. According to an Executive Order (EO) released in April 2025, the new administration plans to modify the FAR so it’s written in plain language and mostly scrubbed of non-statutory rules. This is not the first time a presidential administration has set out to review the FAR in its entirety, but GSA is sure that this time is different with the added support of technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Keeping up with your GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) is important now more than ever. GSA is looking for ways to cut costs and increase efficiency, and contractors who are not maintaining contract compliance or meeting their minimum sales requirement are at risk of contract cancellation. While this has always been a risk, GSA is really cracking down on contractors who are not succeeding in the MAS Program.

Last week, the Trump administration rolled out its long-awaited AI Action Plan, titled “Winning the Race: America’s AI Strategy.” The plan was released alongside a set of Executive Orders (EOs) that aim to reshape how the federal government regulates, buys, and uses Artificial Intelligence (AI). The plan includes three core pillars focused on accelerating AI innovation, building AI infrastructure, and removing current AI guardrails. This plan inevitably impacts government contractors, including current GSA Schedule contractors or companies looking to break into the federal market. So, what’s in the plan, and more importantly, what aspects of the plan should contractors be paying attention to? Let’s review the plan below.
