    Frequently Asked Questions

    What government consulting contracts are available?
    The federal government is the world's largest buyer of management consulting services, spending tens of billions annually. Opportunities include management and strategy consulting, IT consulting, financial management consulting, HR and organizational consulting, program evaluation, change management, process improvement, and policy consulting. Major vehicles include OASIS, OASIS+, CIO-SP3, STARS III, and agency-specific BPAs.
    How do consulting firms win on OASIS and OASIS+?
    OASIS (One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services) and the newer OASIS+ are GSA IDIQ vehicles for complex, professional services. To win task orders, firms need to be on-contract and then respond to task order RFPs with technical approach, past performance, and price. SamSearch tracks OASIS+ task orders in real-time and helps firms analyze requirements quickly to decide which to pursue.
    What NAICS codes do management consulting firms use?
    Management consulting firms primarily use NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting), 541612 (Human Resources Consulting), 541613 (Marketing Consulting), 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting), 541618 (Other Management Consulting), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting). The right NAICS codes determine which set-aside opportunities your firm can pursue.
    Can small consulting firms compete for government contracts?
    Yes, in fact, many federal consulting contracts are specifically set aside for small businesses. The 8(a) Business Development Program, HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs all create consulting opportunities exclusive to qualifying small firms. STARS III and other small business IDIQs provide significant consulting contract access. SamSearch filters by set-aside status to help small consulting firms find their best opportunities.
    How do consulting firms find task orders on existing IDIQs?
    Task orders under IDIQs like OASIS, STARS III, and CIO-SP3 are often posted on the IDIQ vehicle's portal, GSA eBuy, or SAM.gov with limited visibility. SamSearch aggregates task order postings from all sources and alerts you when new task orders are issued under vehicles your firm holds, ensuring you never miss a relevant opportunity.
    How long does it take for a consulting firm to win its first government contract?
    For firms with relevant past performance, winning a first government contract can take 3-12 months depending on approach. The fastest path is often through set-aside contracts, subcontracting under an established prime, or BPA awards. SamSearch helps consulting firms identify the right entry strategy, whether through direct bids, teaming, or subcontracting, and find opportunities that match their current capabilities.
