NMR Receives Notice to Proceed on GSA Polaris GWAC SDVOSB — Poised to Deliver Next‑Gen IT and Tech Services to Federal Agencies

Huntsville, AL — December 19, 2025 — NMR is thrilled to announce it has received the formal Notice to Proceed (NTP) under the GSA Polaris Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) SDVOSB contract vehicle, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued expansion across the federal IT marketplace. With the NTP issued, NMR is fully authorized to engage on Polaris task orders and partner broadly with new agencies and industry collaborators.

A New Chapter Under Polaris

  • The Polaris GWAC is the latest flagship government‑wide IT services contract from General Services Administration (GSA), designed to provide a streamlined, competitive, and flexible vehicle for agencies to acquire modern IT and professional services. The contract spans a wide range of capabilities, including cloud services, cybersecurity, data management and analytics, software development, immersive and emerging technologies, and more.
  • Polaris is structured as a multiple‑award, indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, set up with discrete socioeconomic pools, including SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, and Small Business, to ensure diversity and broaden opportunity in the federal contracting marketplace.
  • With Polaris now active, NMR is now fully positioned to support agencies through the SDVOSB pool, offering rapid access to compliant, scalable, and mission-ready solutions.

What This Means for Agencies & Partners

  • Agencies can now engage NMR through Polaris to meet a broad range of IT and professional services, from legacy infrastructure modernization to cutting-edge solutions like cloud migration, cybersecurity, emerging‑tech integration, data analytics, and more, all while leveraging the speed, flexibility, and compliance advantages of a pre‑qualified SDVOSB contractor.
  • Industry collaborators and teaming partners have an opportunity to collaborate with NMR under Polaris task orders, leveraging NMR's proven past performance, technical credentials, and SDVOSB status to jointly pursue high-impact federal IT initiatives that demand scale, security, and small‑business socioeconomic compliance.
  • Polaris delivers efficiency and value through a streamlined GWAC that accelerates procurement, reduces acquisition friction, and advances federal small-business and socioeconomic objectives. Unlike traditional contract vehicles, Polaris provides enhanced program and acquisition support—helping agencies navigate requirements development, task-order execution, and contract administration with greater confidence and speed.

Looking Ahead

NMR is energized by this next phase. With Polaris now live, NMR is ready to:

  • Respond to task orders across the full spectrum of enterprise IT services, spanning strategy, modernization, operations, security, and technology enablement.
  • Partner with agencies and industry teams to deliver scalable, secure, and innovative solutions.
  • Maintain a focus on sustainable technology procurement and environmentally responsible practices, in line with Polaris’s objectives. 

“We are grateful to GSA for this opportunity,” said Brian Flowers. “Receiving the Notice to Proceed validates our long‑standing commitment to mission readiness and to delivering agile solutions at the speed of mission.”
