Additional Details
The EPASS Task Order Phasing Plan special notice serves as an important communication from the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) regarding the remaining Engineering, Professional, and Administrative Support Services (EPASS) Round 3 and Round 4 Fair Opportunity Competition (FOC) opportunities. The EPASS Program Office, operating under the Department of the Air Force and the Department of Defense, is responsible for procuring Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) to support AFLCMC, Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command (HQ AFMC), and the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). The overarching goal of this procurement activity is to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality engineering, professional, and administrative support services that are critical to the Air Force’s mission success.
This notice outlines the process and eligibility requirements for prospective prime offerors interested in competing for EPASS task orders. Specifically, only vendors within the GSA OASIS+ Small Business Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) domain and the applicable NAICS codes, as detailed in the Task Order Phasing Plan, are eligible to participate. All Fair Opportunity Proposal Requests (FOPRs) and related competition information are disseminated directly to qualified GSA OASIS+ Small Business vendors via the GSA eBuy platform (https://www.ebuy.gsa.gov/ebuy/). Additional program details and guidance on GSA OASIS+ can be found at https://www.gsa.gov/oasis-plus/about/.
A key feature of the EPASS program is its 100% small business set-aside status, reflecting a strong commitment to maximizing opportunities for small business participation. This set-aside is a foundational element of the acquisition strategy, ensuring that small businesses have a significant role in supporting Air Force requirements.
An important update, effective 24 April 2025, is highlighted in this notice: EPASS will discontinue the requirement for contractors to recertify their small business size status at the task order level for Fair Opportunity Competitions awarded under the GSA OASIS+ Small Business IDIQ. Instead, the handling of size and status re-representations will be governed by the terms of the OASIS+ SB IDIQ (Solicitation #47QRCA23R0001, Section G.3.1.7) and the applicable federal regulations. This change streamlines the process for contractors and aligns with current regulatory guidance.
The contracting activity is managed by FA8622 AFLCMC AZS EPASS, a federal office within the Department of the Air Force. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is Emily Starkey, who can be reached at [email protected] or 937-904-6388 for further information.
This notice remains active as of its posting date, 30 April 2026, and is accessible via the official SAM.gov portal (Opportunity ID: 445363cf1ada4d52bd54ebd381011972). Interested parties are encouraged to review the 43 attachments available on SAM.gov for comprehensive details regarding the phasing plan and competition requirements.
In summary, this procurement activity is designed to engage qualified small businesses in delivering essential advisory and support services to the Air Force, with a clear and streamlined process for participation under the GSA OASIS+ Small Business contract vehicle. Contractors with relevant capabilities and GSA OASIS+ SB IDIQ status are encouraged to monitor the eBuy platform for upcoming opportunities and to review all provided documentation to ensure alignment with program objectives and requirements.
