The General Services Administration has released the initial lists of apparently successful offerors on the service-disabled veteran-owned small business, or SDVOSB , and Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or HUBZone, pools of the Polaris governmentwide acquisition contract for IT products and services.
According to pre-award notices published Friday on SAM.gov, there are 27 ASOs on the Polaris IT GWAC’s SDVOSB pool and 32 on the HUBZone pool.
GSA said it will only consider protests challenging the size and status of ASOs at this time and will refer them to the Small Business Administration.
In September 2022, GSA sought proposals for the contract vehicle’s HUBZone and SDVOSB pools .
What Is Polaris GWAC? Polaris GWAC seeks to provide federal agencies a vehicle to acquire artificial intelligence, automation, immersive technology, distributed ledger technology, edge computing and other emerging technologies and IT services from vetted small businesses to meet their tech requirements.
The contract has four set-aside pools: small business; women-owned small business, or WOSB; HUBZone; and SDVOSB.
With Polaris, GSA aims to expand the industry partner base, provide greater access to emerging technologies, simplify proposal submission requirements and improve the customer experience.
In December, GSA awarded 102 vendors spots on the Polaris contract’s small business pool .
