EPASS Task Order Phasing Plan

The purpose of this special notice is to communicate all Engineering, Professional, and Administrative Support Services (EPASS) Round 2 and Round 3 Fair Opportunity Competition (FOC) opportunities for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC). The EPASS Program Office is responsible for acquiring Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) for AFLCMC, HQ AFMC, and AFIT. In order to be eligible for task order awards, prospective prime offerors must be within the GSA OASIS Small Business pool as indicated on the Task Order Phasing Plan. Information for each Fair Opportunity Competition, to include Fair Opportunity Proposal Requests (FOPRs) is communicated to the respective GSA OASIS Small Business pool through use of the email distribution list managed by the GSA OASIS Program Office.

NOTE: EPASS is a 100% small business set-aside program. We are committed to maximizing opportunities for small businesses, as it is a foundational part of our acquisition strategy. Due to industry concerns, EPASS has carefully taken the appropriate measures to adjust the qualifications for competing for follow-on work. These measures are intended to keep EPASS work grounded in its foundation, operating in accordance with small business regulations,and supporting the DoD and DAF Small Business Programs. In addition, we acknowledge that implementing federal government-driven strategic sourcing has resulted in larger task orders, but we remain committed to promoting small business opportunities regardless of task order size.
