About this opportunity

GSA's Federal Acquisition Service solicited proposals for the Polaris Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Pool under Solicitation 47QTCB22R0007, with proposals due November 18, 2022. That deadline has passed, and the pool is now issuing phased awards. The set-aside is Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, restricting the pool to SDVOSB offerors.

The most recent notice, a June 23, 2026 Notice of Award, names 17 awardees: 2TechJV, LLC; Alpha Communications Services LLC; ARK Technology Solutions, LLC; BGE Technology, LLC; Centuria Corporation; Clear Vantage Point Solutions, LLC; Competitive Range Solutions LLC; E3 Veterans Group, LLC; HagerV3, LLC; ITEK Joint Solutions LLC; Management Support Technology, Incorporated; MicroHealth LLC; Patronus Consulting, LLC; Strategic Operational Solutions Inc; TechSol, LLC; Teracore Inc.; and VQ Feather LLC. Earlier phases awarded Decisionpoint-Agile Defense Joint Venture, L.L.C. (December 19, 2025) and MINDVEN LLC, PARAGON-VERTEX JOINT VENTURE, and SUGARLOAF TECHNOLOGIES LLC (January 22, 2026). GSA made the awards under a phased approach determined to be in the Government's best interest under Section M.3, with awardees rated Highest Technically Rated with Fair and Reasonable Pricing. No offeror is eliminated from future award consideration, and debriefing letters will follow completion of all phases.

Preaward notices state that the Government will not consider subsequent proposal revisions and will accept only size and status protests, which are referred to the U.S. Small Business Administration. A May 1, 2023 Court of Federal Claims decision prohibited further evaluation and awards under the then-current solicitation versions. Amendment 0003 (October 25, 2023) extended offer acceptance for existing offerors who submitted timely proposals by November 18, 2022, and moved the price proposal submission and the protégé and SDVOSB joint venture evaluation adjustments to a separate release planned for November 2023.

The procurement is classified under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and PSC DA01 (IT and Telecom, Business Application/Application Development Support Services, Labor). Contracting Officer correspondence goes to polarissdvosb@gsa.gov, and program information is available at www.gsa.gov/polaris and www.gsa.gov/gwacs.
