FPS Podcast #53 - SMB Contracting and an Update on the Polaris Contract
Share This
May 9, 2023
In this episode Larry Allen of Allen Federal discusses the recent COFC decision on GSA's Polaris contract. This impacts a multitude of small businesses who spent countless time preparing and submitting proposals to be a part of this multi-faceted contract only to see multiple bid protest arise over the NDAA Section 871 clause and a COFC decision to make GSA re-think the contract.

Larry also discusses the outlook for Small Business as we approach the Q4 of FY23 and the Biden Administration's push to increase small business participation, specifically in the disadvantage sector.
