Big news for professional services companies—OASIS+ Phase II solicitations are expected to be released on or around January 12, 2026. The One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS)+ contract vehicle focuses on non-IT professional services and classifies as a Best-In-Class (BIC) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Phase I of OASIS+ featured eight service domains across five small business set-aside contracts and one unrestricted contract.
In the anticipated Phase II solicitations, 13 service domains will now be available across the six contracts, which includes the eight original domains associated with Phase I as well as the following five new domains: Business Administration, Financial Services, Human Capital, Marketing and Public Relations, and Social Services. If you haven’t already started preparing for Phase II, you should begin reviewing the draft scorecards GSA’s Office of Professional Services and Human Capital Categories (PSHC) released on SAM.gov back in December. More information regarding the upcoming OASIS+ Phase II launch can be found on our blog.

Although the federal Fiscal Year began in October, it's a new quarter and a new calendar year, so we anticipate a lot of upcoming changes for MAS contractors in the next several months. Here are 3 trends we expect to see in 2026:
IT Modernization and AI: GSA is ramping up their OneGov Strategy, a new initiative helping agencies gain access to IT tools and AI. GSA has already negotiated with several IT and AI firms to discount their offerings, and we expect this to continue in 2026.
Policy and Admin Changes: The Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Overhaul is in full swing, and we expect to see more sections of the FAR rewritten and published soon. GSA is also working on expanding the Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) Program and rolling out the e FAS Catalog Platform (FCP) to all MAS contractors.
Growth of MAS Program, GWACS, and IDIQs: Under the Executive Order (EO) consolidating procurement, GSA is taking on a lot more responsibility in acquisition oversight and this includes taking over several Best-In-Class GWACs. Other vehicles such as OASIS+ are inevitably expanding as agencies are encouraged to use contracting vehicles that focus on lower costs and efficiency.

QUICK TIP
GSA Schedule Marketing Tips for the New Year
The start of the New Year is the perfect time to revamp your government marketing strategy. One of the best tips for preparing an effective marketing strategy is to research both your target customers and your competitors. Narrow down which government agencies you want to sell to, and then use sites such as SAM.gov and USASpending.gov to research past, current, and future awards and budgets. You’ll also want to research your GSA competitors. You can use GSA eLibrary and GSA Advantage! to find information about your competitors’ offerings, prices, and other contract terms. And speaking of eLibrary and Advantage!, it’s important to maintain your company’s presence on these sites. Government agencies use eLibrary and Advantage! to look for potential vendors, so a key part of any marketing strategy is ensuring that all of your information is complete, accurate, and up-to-date on GSA web platforms.
