Quick Answer

Are You A Strong Candidate For This Domain?

You’re typically a strong candidate for OASIS+ intelligence services readiness if you can select up to five qualifying projects that: (1) are clearly intelligence-relevant, (2) meet minimum annual value thresholds, (3) fall within the allowable time window, and (4) have above-satisfactory past performance where required.

This domain is clearance-heavy and score-driven, so plan for cushion points above the minimum qualification threshold to reduce elimination risk.

Score Risk: What Usually Breaks Submissions

Common issues that create elimination risk include:

projects that are “intel-adjacent” but don’t prove relevance via auto-relevant PSC or scope evidence (SOW / J.P-3)
annual value calculations not following the required method (ongoing vs. completed)
projects outside timing rules (ongoing must show 6+ months performance; completed must be within 5 years)
past performance averages not above satisfactory (average must be above 3 on the numeric scale)
clearance claims without evidence that the SOW required them and that cleared personnel were placed
facility clearance claimed while “pending” (not accepted)
MA-IDIQ/BPA task orders counted as FEPs without proof they were competitive and federal prime

How Relevance Works In The Intelligence Services Domain

This domain uses auto-relevant PSC codes, and the presentation indicates no auto-relevant NAICS code is specified. If your contract does not align via PSC, relevance must be proven through the SOW and/or a J.P-3 form.

Auto-Relevant NAICS

None specified.

Scoring Snapshot (Intelligence Services)

Maximum score: 50 (SB and UNR)
Minimum qualification score: 36 (SB) and 42 (UNR)
Main score factors: Qualifying Projects (QPs), Federal Experience Projects (FEPs), Systems/Clearances/Certifications
QPs: 41 points (SB and UNR)
FEPs: 3 points (SB) and 2 points (UNR)
Systems/Clearances/Certifications: 6 points (SB) and 7 points (UNR)

Qualifying Projects (QPs): Eligibility Rules You Must Validate First

Count: up to five qualifying projects (contracts)
Allowable sources: federal prime, federal subcontract, or commercial contracts
Federal prime types: standalone, or task orders under MA IDIQ/BPA, SA IDIQ/BPA, or FSS/MAS/BOAs
OTAs: allowed; grants and cooperative agreements are not acceptable for QPs
Services requirement: FAR Part 37 (services, not supplies)
Annual value: at least $500K (SB) or $1M (UNR)
Timing: ongoing must have 6+ months completed performance; completed must be within 5 years
Past performance: above satisfactory (average above 3 on the numeric scale)
Relevance: auto-relevant PSC, or relevance shown via the SOW or a J.P-3 form

Annual Value Calculation (QP Eligibility)

Ongoing: (total expected value ÷ total expected duration in days) × 366
Completed: (total obligated/paid value ÷ actual total duration in days) × 366

QP Subfactor Highlights (Intelligence Services)

Relevance (10): up to 5 QPs, each up to 2 points
Scale (4): credits based on annual value and/or FTE thresholds
Integrated Experience (4): credit per QP for either labor categories ≥ 5 or distinct functional areas ≥ 3
Individual Clearances (15): 3 points/QP when the project used 5+ cleared personnel and the SOW required it
Management & Staffing (SB 5 / UNR 4): credits for surge capability and first-tier subcontractor thresholds
Past Performance (3 + UNR SB Util 1): points based on 3/4/5 relevant QPs with positive overall ratings

Scale Thresholds (Annual Value Or FTEs)

SB 1st credit: annual ≥ $1M or FTEs ≥ 5
SB 2nd credit: annual ≥ $4M or FTEs ≥ 20
UNR 1st credit: annual ≥ $2.5M or FTEs ≥ 12
UNR 2nd credit: annual ≥ $10M or FTEs ≥ 50

Individual Clearances (15 Points)

3 points for each QP that shows 5+ personnel with clearance
clearances include Secret, Top Secret, Top Secret/SCI, and Q (DOE)
the SOW must have requested clearance, and you must show cleared personnel were used

Management & Staffing Credits

Surge capability: ≤ 45 days lead time and ≥ 10% increase (credit per QP)
First-tier subcontractors: 3+ (SB) or 5+ (UNR) (credit per QP)

Past Performance (How Points Are Earned)

1 point for 3 of 5 QPs with overall positive past performance (> 3.0 average)
2 points if 4 QPs are relevant with overall positive past performance
3 points if all 5 QPs are relevant with overall positive past performance
UNR: +1 point if small business utilization averages “Very Good” or above for all 5 QPs (as applicable)

Special Case: One QP Can Be A Collection Of Task Orders

one of the five QPs can be a collection of task orders
the IDIQ must be a single-award IDIQ and a federal prime contract
aggregate annual value, FTEs, subcontractors, functional areas, cleared personnel, etc., as one contract
duration uses earliest task order start date and latest task order end date

Federal Experience Projects (FEPs)

MA-IDIQ/BPA task orders: 1 point per task order (SB up to 3; UNR up to 2)
task orders are only “competitive” if 2+ businesses submitted proposals
must be federal prime services task orders under MA-IDIQ/BPAs with annual value > $250K
must be ongoing for 6+ months or completed within 5 years

Systems, Facility Clearance, And Certifications

Accounting system: 2 points (SB and UNR)
Other systems (UNR): credit for government-approved systems (approved rates, purchasing, estimating, EVMS, MMAS, property management); 2 systems = 1 point, 3+ systems = 2 points
Facility clearance: active Top Secret = 3 points; active Secret = 2 points (pending is not accepted)
Other certifications: 1 point each up to the max for the subfactor (CMMI L2+, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 28001:2007, ISO 22301, CMMC Level 3)

Mentor-Protégé JV Note

at least one QP must come from the protégé
annual value thresholds are halved when the protégé submits the contract (same concept applies to scale and FEP thresholds)

Compliance Habits That Prevent Elimination

read the RFP and all Q&As thoroughly, multiple times
create a reliable compliance checklist
do at least two rounds of compliance checks after scoring is complete
check every item against instructions; verify every claim with evidence
use “devil’s advocate” review; plan for 3–5 cushion points above 36/42
use a third-party review for scoring and document completeness when possible

Pricing Notes (High Level)

cost/price forms/information are mandatory for submission
pricing is reviewed as acceptable/non-acceptable (no points)
pricing is entered in J.P-9 for 20 LCATs at SME level for a 16-year period (first-year input only)
ceiling rates apply to sole source T&M/LH task orders; other work requires task-order pricing
ceiling rates exclude Secret/Top Secret and OCONUS additions
only one price proposal is required across domains

Partnering When You Need Cushion Points

if you are not 3–5 points above the threshold, consider using a partner or partners
JVs, MPJVs, and prime/sub relationships are acceptable
you can use a partner’s contracts for both QPs and FEPs
for SB submissions, subcontractors must be small under this domain
consider “over and under” relationships across tracks to help both teams
