Ball Aerospace & Technologies
Corp. has been awarded five contracts by the General Services Administration
(GSA) through the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS)
program.
Ball's Systems Engineering Solutions business unit, Fairborn, Ohio, led the
effort to secure these indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity five-year
contracts, awarded August 20, 2014.
"We look forward to providing the full Ball Aerospace engineering and
scientific capabilities to current and future government customers under the
GSA OASIS program," said Dan Gibson, vice president and general manager, Ball
Aerospace Systems Engineering Solutions. "Under this contract, Ball gains a
streamlined process for rapidly responding to customer requirements in our
core technology competencies."
Gibson also highlighted one of the key elements of the OASIS program related
to small business partnering. "Under OASIS, Ball has made a significant
commitment to delivering capability in concert with small businesses. We have
established aggressive small business subcontracting goals for this program,
in keeping with our long history of collaborating with the best talent from
the small business community."
The OASIS program contracts represent a significant expansion of Ball's
relationship with the GSA. Each contract has an initial five-year ordering
period with an opportunity for exercise of one five-year option. The
contracts have a projected total life of 15 years when the option period and
performance periods are considered. The contracts have an unlimited ceiling
value and can be used by any federal agency.
The OASIS program is intended to provide a broad scope of services to the
federal government and consists of two categories - OASIS Small Business and
OASIS Full & Open. OASIS meets the government's need for a streamlined
government-wide acquisition vehicle for both commercial and non-commercial
requirements for professional services. It is also designed to reduce
duplication of contracting efforts, drive down costs for federal agencies, and
increase efficiency.
The Ball Aerospace awards are in the Full & Open category that defines the
scope of services and the threshold for small business size. The OASIS program
awards encompass much of the Ball Aerospace services offerings including
Engineering and Research and Development.
Prior to this award, Ball provided services to federal agencies through GSA
professional services schedule contracts.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. supports critical missions for national
agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA and other U.S.
government and commercial entities. The company develops and manufactures
spacecraft, advanced instruments and sensors, components, data exploitation
systems and RF solutions for strategic, tactical and scientific applications.
