OASIS+ Logistics Services Qualification: Scoring, Evidence and Submission

The OASIS+ Logistics Services Qualification comes down to proving the right experience, scoring it correctly, and documenting it cleanly. This guide explains what Logistics Services covers, how the scoring works, what makes a project “qualifying,” and how to reduce avoidable issues during submission.

What Logistics Services Covers

Logistics Services spans operational and analytical support that moves, sustains, or restores capability across supply chains and mission environments. Common service areas include:

• Rapid deployment of supplies and equipment using communication and logistics systems
• Repair and alteration
• Resource sourcing (global, regional, local)
• Specialized cargo management
• Supply chain management and provisioning
• Supportability analysis and implementation
• Technology and industrial base support
• Test range support
• Value chain management

Who Usually Fits This Domain

The Logistics Services domain is commonly pursued by teams with documented performance in one or more of the following profiles:

1. Defense and mission logistics operators
2. Supply chain and distribution companies
3. Cold chain and perishable goods specialists
4. Integrated Product Support (IPS) and sustainment firms
5. Logistics IT, optimization, and analytics firms (performance tracking, system design)
6. Infrastructure, industrial relocation, and expansion firms
7. Sourcing and industrial base firms
8. Logistics training and workforce enablement firms

Auto-Relevant NAICS And PSC (Eligibility Signals)

Many teams start classification and relevance by checking whether their contracts align with auto-relevant NAICS and PSC codes. These codes do not replace scope proof, but they can strengthen the relevance case when they match the work performed.

Auto-Relevant NAICS Codes

• 485999 – All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation
• 488190 – Other Support Activities for Air Transportation
• 488999 – All Other Support Activities for Transportation
• 493110 – General Warehousing and Storage
• 493190 – Other Warehousing and Storage
• 541614 – Process, Physical Distribution and Logistics Consulting Services
• 811114 – Specialized Automotive Repair
• 811198 – All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance

Auto-Relevant PSC Codes

• R706 – Support: Management (Logistics Support)
• V001 – Transportation/Travel/Relocation (Motor Pool and Packing/Crating)
• V002 – Transportation/Travel/Relocation (Motor Pool Operations)
• V003 – Transportation/Travel/Relocation (Packing/Crating)
• V119 – Transportation/Travel/Relocation (Transportation: Other)

How The Scoring Works (High Level)

The score is built from three main areas: (1) Qualifying Projects (QPs), (2) Federal Experience Projects (FEPs), and (3) Systems, clearances, and certifications. Your five QPs typically drive most of the score, so selection and documentation matter.

Qualifying Projects (QPs): What Makes A Project Count

You may use up to five contracts as QPs. QPs can be federal prime, federal subcontract, or commercial contracts, but they must be services work (FAR Part 37). Grants and cooperative agreements are not acceptable.

Core QP Thresholds

• Minimum annual value: $500K (Small Business) or $1M (Unrestricted)
• Recency: ongoing projects should show at least six months of performance; completed projects should be completed within five years of submission
• Past performance: above satisfactory average (CPARS or equivalent form)
• Relevance: show domain relevance via auto-relevant NAICS/PSC, scope language, or documented relevance support

Scale Credits (Value Or FTEs)

Separate from the base QP qualification, additional scale credits can be earned when a QP exceeds higher thresholds in annual value or staffing. The thresholds differ by track and are evaluated per project.

Integrated Experience Credits

• Credit may be earned when a QP demonstrates multiple labor categories (e.g., 5+) or multiple distinct functional areas (e.g., 3+)
• Functional areas refer to domain-level areas, not sub-functions inside one domain

Management And Staffing Credits

• Credits may be available for use of first-tier subcontractors (teaming partners or independent consultants)
• Credits may be available for personnel with clearances (e.g., Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, Q)

Specialized Functional Experience

• Surge capability: evidence of rapid level-of-effort increase with limited lead time when formally requested
• Contingency and exercise support: evidence tied to required environments and mechanisms (as applicable)

Special Case: Collection Of Task Orders As One QP

In some cases, one of the five QPs can be built from a collection of task orders under a single-award federal prime IDIQ. The task orders are combined and treated as one project for calculating value, staffing, and other countable attributes.

Federal Experience Projects (FEPs): Two Common Paths

FEP points are commonly earned in two ways: (1) task orders under competitive multiple-award IDIQ/BPA vehicles, and (2) work supporting multiple distinct federal agencies.

Task Orders Under Competitive MA-IDIQ/BPAs

• Typically scored as one point per eligible task order (up to the allowed maximum)
• Annual value threshold commonly starts at $250K; projects should meet recency rules (ongoing 6+ months or completed within 5 years)
• Task orders are generally treated as competitive when two or more businesses submitted a proposal
• These are federal prime services task orders under MA-IDIQ or MA-BPA vehicles

Support Of 3+ Distinct Federal Agencies

• May be earned by showing services delivered for three or more distinct agencies (funding agency identifiers are typically used)
• Projects generally must be funded and meet the value/recency rules; minimum-guarantee-only vehicles are typically not counted without funded orders
• Projects used here do not have to be the same as the five QPs

Systems, Clearances, And Certifications

Points may be available for approved business systems, an active facility clearance, and certain certifications. These items can strengthen a submission, but they typically do not replace the need for strong QPs.

Government-Approved Business Systems

• Accounting system: commonly point-bearing for both tracks
• Other systems (often applicable for Unrestricted): approved rates, purchasing, estimating, EVMS, material management/accounting, property management

Facility Clearance

• One point is commonly earned with an active Secret or Top Secret facility clearance
• Pending status is typically not accepted at submission

Certifications Often Used For Points

• CMMI (Level 2 or higher)
• ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security)
• ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management)
• ISO 28001:2007 (Supply Chain)
• ISO 22301 (Business Continuity)
• CMMC (Level 2 or higher)

Special Case: Mentor-Protégé Joint Ventures

Mentor-Protégé joint ventures can change how certain thresholds apply when a qualifying contract comes from the Protégé. In that situation, some annual value and experience thresholds may be treated at reduced levels for scoring purposes, while still requiring clean evidence.

A Practical Score-Building Approach

1. Profile all candidate contracts and estimate what each could contribute across the score factors.
2. Select the strongest five QPs first, then add eligible FEPs and point-bearing systems/certifications.
3. Use commercial and subcontract work where it is eligible and well-documented.
4. Aim for cushion points above the minimum score to reduce risk from avoidable mistakes.

Documentation: What To Gather Before You Write

Scoring is only as strong as the documentation behind it. Before drafting, gather the artifacts that support value, dates, relevance, staffing, past performance, and any specialized experience you intend to claim. Keep every claim traceable to a document you can produce quickly.

• Contract award and modifications (scope and period)
• Funding evidence and value calculations (as applicable)
• Performance dates and proof of ongoing/completed status
• Past performance documentation (and subfactor averages, when applicable)
• Staffing evidence (FTE counts, clearance documentation, subcontractor roles)
• Relevance mapping (scope language aligned to Logistics Services)

Compliance: Prevent The Most Common Avoidable Problems

Many otherwise-strong submissions fail for preventable reasons. Treat compliance as a separate workstream, not a final checklist.

• Read the solicitation and published Q&As carefully, more than once
• Create a detailed compliance checklist mapped to each required form and rule
• Run at least two independent compliance reviews after scoring is complete
• Verify every figure and rule application against the instructions
• Plan for a buffer above the minimum score to reduce risk from small errors
• Use an independent reviewer to validate scoring and document alignment

Pricing: Required For Submission, Typically Not Point-Scored

Pricing forms and information are typically mandatory, but commonly evaluated on an acceptable/non-acceptable basis rather than assigned points. Ceiling rates are generally provided at the labor category level and then task order pricing is handled at the order level when competing work.

Where Teams Usually Spend Time

Teams often underestimate how much effort goes into selecting the right contracts and validating the score before document preparation and upload. A practical workflow includes:

1. Eligibility assessment
2. Contract selection and score optimization
3. Proposal document preparation
4. Compliance reviews
5. Upload to the submission portal (allow time for validation and fixes)

FAQ

If you want to pressure-test your contract set against the OASIS+ Logistics Services Qualification requirements, start by profiling each candidate contract, selecting the strongest five QPs, and building a documentation packet that supports every claimed point.
