Welcome back.

Fourteen new federal opportunities hit the RFP Snapshot library this week, down from 23 last week. None are live solicitations: the list is 13 RFIs and one Sources Sought, so this is a pure shaping week.

The marquee is the Department of State’s Visa Support Services Program 4, a five-year domestic case processing effort at the National Visa Center and the Kentucky Consular Center.

The deadlines are tight. The Air Force’s AFCEC front office RFI closes today, November 9, and IHS’s art appraisal RFI closes tomorrow. Seven of the 14 close by November 16.

OASIS+ carries almost all of the list. 13 of 14 name OASIS+, up in share from 20 of 23 last week. Eleven are on OASIS+ SB, one is on OASIS+ 8(a), and the Air Force’s SAP security RFI names OASIS+ without a track. Four notices also name GSA MAS as an alternate, and DOT names no vehicle at all.

That count reflects what teams ran through RFP Snapshot, not every federal posting, but it shows where their attention is.

OASIS+ Insider is live.

The OASIS+ opportunities run through RFP Snapshot, the OASIS+ task order awards, the Recompete Radar, and every contract holder, for $10/month.

Founding members keep that rate as long as they stay subscribed. Already on Individual or Team? It’s in your plan.

This week’s OASIS+ Insider section is below.

All 14 of this week’s opportunities are RFIs and Sources Sought, so every one is a shaping play. Seven close by November 16.

State’s marquee is the most built-out.

The draft SOO for Visa Support Services Program 4 covers pre-adjudication case processing, fraud screening, interview scheduling, fee reconciliation, post support and customer service at the National Visa Center (Portsmouth, NH) and Kentucky Consular Center (Williamsburg, KY), over one base year plus four options.

It requires:

State posted it through both a CA/VO Sources Sought (10-page limit) and a GSA MRAS survey, and the contracting officer’s email is redacted, so respond once, through MRAS.

The MRAS survey also asks respondents to select the NAICS they think fits, with 561110 as the listed option.

The Air Force is the heaviest shaper. It posted five notices: the AFCEC front office (8(a)), PSO Basic Training, the LSS STAQ test lab, Air National Guard district plans, and USSTRATCOM’s SAP security support.

DHS is right behind with three: FPS acquisition and analytics support, Secret Service OSINT, and the Coast Guard’s Continuous Synopsis Record support.

HHS and DOT posted two each. NIH wants scientific program management support and IHS needs art and artifacts appraisal. NHTSA is scoping CRSS sampling operations and DOT headquarters a risk framework for the Merchant Marine Academy’s campus modernization.

The Army’s Strategic Missile Defense Mission Support rounds out the list.

NAICS and vehicle are still in play on most of them. Beyond State’s survey, PSO Basic Training lists no NAICS, and NIH, USSS and LSS STAQ each list two. FPS, USSS, SAP Security and Visa Support also name GSA MAS, and DOT has not picked a vehicle.

The Coast Guard is the only one already signaling a small business set-aside.

Five OASIS+ task order awards were added to Task Order Awards between November 2 and November 8.

GAO denied Sawdey Solution Services’ protest of an Air Force requirement that bidders hold an active top secret facility clearance at proposal submission.

The competition covers advisory and assistance work on arms control, countering WMD and the nuclear enterprise. GAO found no basis to question the Air Force’s justification.

This week’s IJSTO draft RFP carries the same requirement: a TS facility clearance for the contractor, plus TS/SCI, SAP access and a CI-scope polygraph for every planner.

SBA’s proposed overhaul covers size standards for 338 industries plus a revised methodology, and the comment period ends November 20 after a 60-day extension.

SBA estimates more than 114,000 additional firms would qualify as small.

Most of this week’s notices leave the size standard unstated, and State’s Visa Support survey asks respondents to choose the NAICS, so the code you argue for matters.

ILC Dover and ILC Astrospace agreed to pay $13 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations.

DOJ says they billed the Army, MDA and NASA while falling short of NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53 controls and storing CUI with a provider lacking FedRAMP Moderate-equivalent safeguards.

The whistleblower, the company’s former cybersecurity director, receives $2.35 million, and there was no determination of liability.
