CGI Federal Inc. (CGI) (NYSE: GIB; TSX: GIB.A) announced today that the General Services Administration (GSA) has chosen the company as a prime contractor under a new contract vehicle known as One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS). The multi-award contract has an unlimited ceiling, allowing CGI to compete for billions of dollars in complex professional services task orders across all agencies in the U.S. federal government.
GSA oversees the business of the federal government, among other things supplying federal purchasers with cost-effective, high-quality products and services from commercial vendors. CGI is one of 74 awardees under OASIS, an “indefinite delivery indefinite quantity” (IDIQ) contract that will allow awardees to compete on a range of program management, management consulting, logistics, engineering, scientific and financial management services. Awardees will also be able to offer technology solutions as an ancillary service. For the first time, agencies will be able to purchase high-value professional services along with supporting IT solutions through a single contract, saving customers time and money.
“We are proud of GSA's selection of CGI,” said Dr. James Peake, Lt. Gen. (Ret), President, CGI Federal. “It is a true reflection of our successful past performance delivering high-quality professional services to our clients. We are eager to begin implementing our innovative solutions under the OASIS vehicle in support of all missions across the Federal government.”
OASIS will be a critical solution of choice for many government agencies including the U.S. Air Force, who in December signed an agreement with GSA to use the contract for professional services.
“We are looking forward to serving our clients through the OASIS vehicle, with continued support to our U.S. military, including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army” said Timothy J. Hurlebaus, CGI Federal senior vice president and National Security and Defense Programs business unit leader. “While the OASIS vehicle will be a vehicle of choice across the government, we expect to be a continued partner of choice for critical services and solutions for our clients.”
CGI is among the companies that are now approved as prime contractors under both the Alliant and OASIS vehicles - a demonstration of the company’s ability to deliver a full range of IT and professional services to our clients.
