Space intake frequently asked questions

General information

Does the Space intake portal link to OASIS?

This portal is a Qualtrics-based survey designed for gathering initial requirements and is not directly integrated with GSA’s systems of record like OASIS. The survey is a standalone tool meant to capture your agency’s space needs and provide a streamlined initial data collection point. Information will need to be manually entered, which allows for a flexible, agency-specific input process.

Who in my agency should fill this out?

This may vary from agency to agency, and is typically a person within the facilities team who is authorized or delegated to request space from us.

Can more than one person submit requirements on a project?

The requirements can only be submitted once using the unique link. You may forward the link to another to complete, but it is not recommended that multiple individuals work within the form at the same time. Information you enter is saved as you move to the next page and progress in the form. Anyone entering the portal with the unique link will resume on the last completed page.

Using the portal

Can I use the Space intake portal to share space my agency would like to offer as a Space match opportunity? 

The Space intake portal is used to submit requirements for space you need, such as a new requirement, expiring lease, or relocation. The Underutilized space identification portal is where you submit underutilized or excess space. We will work with you on your release strategy options.

What if I have a small requirement for less than 6 people?

The Space intake portal is scalable and allows for smaller requests for space.

Do I fill out an intake form for parking requirements?

For official parking needs not associated with a space occupancy project, your agency can submit the request as a new requirement through the portal. See our site on assigning and managing parking spaces for additional information.

Do I need to incorporate occupancy data into my request?

GSA will factor occupancy information into the preliminary space program. This can be either a target number, such as 80% or an actual rate based on collected occupancy data. By including planning for occupancy in the programming stage, we will have better occupancy outcomes for future use.

What if I have my Agency Specific Requirements, Room Data Matrix or a Program of Requirements?

You are able to upload additional documents into the Space intake portal which would be reviewed along with the initial planning requirements submitted.

Does GSA still need an SF-81?

We will now gather initial planning details via the Space intake portal, eliminating the need for an SF-81 form. However, if your agency uses an SF-81, you can still upload it along with your answers in the portal.

Updates and changes to requirements

Does the Space intake portal link to PBS OASIS?

This portal is a Qualtrics-based survey designed for gathering initial requirements and is not directly integrated with our systems of record like PBS OASIS. The survey is a standalone tool meant to capture your agency’s space needs and provide a streamlined initial data collection point. Information will need to be manually entered, which allows for a flexible, agency-specific input process.

What about when changes happen on the requirements we submitted? How do we come back to update the info?

Requirements are not static - we understand that agency needs evolve, which is why we have a flexible, collaborative approach to updates. Initially, your submission provides an important baseline snapshot, and subsequent changes will be strategically discussed with our Client Strategy and formally documented in the Client Project Agreement. Once your requirements move into execution and procurement phases, our Project Delivery and Leasing teams will seamlessly incorporate any necessary updates, ensuring your evolving needs are continuously and professionally addressed.

Process and timelines

Will GSA be reaching out to customers 36-42 months requesting upcoming requirements needed?

We are currently re-evaluating its timelines, strategy, and processes for addressing expiring occupancies. The 36-42 month timeframe has been used in the past, this is subject to change as we refine our approach. Faster solutions can be done by leveraging shared spaces and colocation opportunities. We will communicate any updates to our outreach timelines and processes to our customers as soon as they are finalized.

Is shared space the only option to meet my space needs if I use the Space intake portal?  

We will review your space needs submitted via the portal and identify a housing solution to fit your requirements. Potential options include shared space, backfilling vacant space, or a new lease.

Location strategy

Why would I choose a select market over a specific city?

When federal agencies don’t have a legislative mandate to be in a specific city, targeting a Core Based Statistical Area, or CBSA or market rather than a single city location can provide access to a wider range of cost-effective office options that still meet the needs of federal agencies. This approach allows us to optimize location selection by considering multiple areas of consideration, which in some markets we may pre-define, ultimately supporting more strategic and efficient workplace solutions.

Security

What level of security is the software used for the portal? How can I ensure the space requirements entered into the portal meets my agency’s OCIO security requirements?

The new portal collects requirements via the Qualtrics XM Platform which is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized. This platform also has added security controls where only two GSA authorized personnel can view and pull data for internal planning use. Collected information via Qualtrics is then downloaded and stored in Google Services platform which is also FedRAMP Moderate Authorized.

Additional terms and conditions

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
