    Polaris Update
    After receiving feedback related to the evaluation of joint ventures under Polaris, GSA is currently assessing whether any changes are necessary for the RFPs. While completing this assessment, GSA is temporarily pausing the RFPs until further notice. A subsequent amendment will establish a new closing date. Following completion of the assessment, the proposal due date will be extended accordingly. Offerors are encouraged to pause proposal activities until this assessment is completed. During this pause, the opening of the Polaris Submission Portal is also on hold.

    Giving Thanks
    We are thankful for you, our dedicated industry professionals. We've received much feedback regarding the planned release timeline of the Polaris solicitations. In an effort to provide all of our stakeholders time to celebrate this holiday season with friends and family, the solicitations for the small business and WOSB pools are planned for release in January 2022. The HUBZone and SDVOSB solicitations will follow. Thank you for your continued support.

    Good morning! I understand that the Final RFP is planned to be released no earlier than Fall 2021. Do you anticipate it will be released before the end of Q4FY2021 or do you think it will be pushed into Q1FY2022? Thank you very much for your time!
