Veteran-Owned Businesses

The General Services Administration’s Office of Small Business will host a November 19, 2026, webinar outlining resources for small businesses and veteran-owned firms pursuing federal contracts. The informational session will cover counseling, mentoring, technical assistance, funding guidance, education, and training; it is not a solicitation or contract opportunity.

The GSA has added 17 new offerors to the Polaris SDVOSB pool, enhancing opportunities for federal procurement of innovative IT services. This move directly supports small business participation and aids federal agencies in meeting their IT modernization goals.
