12/02/25 — GSA is excited to announce that the Notice to Proceed was issued for Phase I awards on the Polaris GWAC Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) Pools. Contracting personnel may register for training at gsa.gov/events.
Polaris is a small business governmentwide acquisition contract, or GWAC, for acquiring customized information technology services and IT services-based solutions. Polaris has four unique set aside pools:
Federal agencies can use GWACs to order information technology services and IT services-based solutions, including:
Contracting officers may include ancillary services and equipment on orders, as long as the ancillary support is integral and necessary for the IT services-based solution. Ancillary support can include non-IT services/labor as well as IT and non-IT equipment (server racks, mounts, and the like) and software.
Did you know we offer free scope compatibility reviews? This unique benefit of working with GSA can help reduce the risk of protest and improve acquisition outcomes.
Current industry partners should report task orders and subcontracting in the Sales Reporting Portal.
