July 29, 2022 - SAM.gov Entity Validation Issues

The Polaris team is aware that some offerors and team members who intend to submit proposals for Polaris are currently experiencing delays with SAM.gov. We understand that access to the Symphony portal and proposal development is predicated on offerors and team members being able to validate their entity information in SAM.gov.

Polaris offerors and team members should ensure all required documentation has been submitted in SAM.gov. Additionally, please review the referenced FSD Resources on SAM validation issues here:

https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0058422&sys_kb_id=7bb8810ddba05990060d5425f3961912&spa=1

Entity validation in SAM.gov can take time. We strongly encourage offerors and team members to start the validation process as soon as possible to avoid issues with submitting Polaris proposals by the due date.

Please let us know at contact@example.gov if you are having any system challenges that may cause a delay in the submission of your Polaris offer.

May 13, 2022 – Through review of industry feedback and engagement with the Small Business Administration (SBA), the General Services Administration (GSA) has drafted changes to Section L.5.1.3.1 of the Polaris GWAC Small Business Pool request for proposals (RFP) and is seeking feedback from the small business IT community. This draft language is available within the attached document, “Polaris SB Request for Feedback - 13MAY2022.pdf”

We want to emphasize that this language is in “draft” form and is subject to change. We encourage interested parties to review these draft changes and provide feedback to contact@example.gov, no later than May 23, 2022. This feedback request is specific to the draft language attached.

Following review of the feedback received in response to this request, the Polaris GWAC RFPs will be amended to incorporate final language regarding this subject along with any other changes needed. Responses to questions previously submitted will also be provided with this forthcoming amendment.

The Polaris RFPs remain paused until further notice. The opening of the Polaris Submission Portal also remains on hold. Please note the proposal due date in this SAM.gov announcement has been updated from May 13, 2022 to June 30, 2022; however, the forthcoming amendment is anticipated to be released in June 2022 and will establish a new closing date which will take into account the total number of days paused. Offerors are still encouraged to pause proposal activities until the amendment is issued.
