Why Use a Contract Vehicle?
Pre-competed contract vehicles save acquisition professionals significant time and effort:
- Faster procurement: Skip the full-and-open competition timeline. Task orders can be awarded in weeks rather than months.
- Pre-vetted contractors: Every company on these vehicles has already been evaluated for technical capability, past performance, and financial stability.
- Reduced protest risk: Ordering from established vehicles provides a defensible acquisition strategy with lower protest risk.
- Small business credit: Orders placed through OASIS+ TSB, OASIS+ 8(a), and STARS III count toward your agency’s small business goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contract vehicles does Zapata Technology hold?
Zapata Technology holds positions on several major government-wide contract vehicles, including OASIS+ and other GWACs and IDIQs that enable streamlined procurement for federal agencies. These vehicles allow contracting officers to issue task orders without a full and open competition, significantly reducing acquisition timelines. Visit our Federal Contracting FAQ for a complete list of our current contract holdings.
How do I issue a task order on OASIS+?
To issue a task order on OASIS+, contracting officers submit a requirement through the OASIS+ ordering system managed by GSA. You identify the appropriate domain and pool, develop your solicitation, and issue it to contract holders within that pool. Zapata Technology actively monitors OASIS+ opportunities and responds to task order solicitations across our awarded domains. For procurement guidance, see our Federal Contracting FAQ.
What is the difference between a GWAC and an IDIQ?
A GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) is a type of IDIQ specifically designated for IT services and available to all federal agencies. An IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) is a broader contract type that establishes a ceiling for ordering but does not commit the government to a specific quantity. All GWACs are IDIQs, but not all IDIQs are GWACs. Contracting officers use both to streamline procurement and reduce acquisition lead times. Learn more on our Federal Contracting FAQ page.
