Both the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program and the OASIS+ contract vehicle have been getting a lot of attention in the professional services sphere of the government. The procurement arm of GSA is predicted to quadruple in size with the recent Executive Orders (EOs) expanding the MAS Program, and the OASIS+ contract vehicle is looking to on-ramp more contractors and expand the scope in Phase II.
