ISR Workspace: Increased Contract Volume

Show Details Jun 26, 2026 Following the implementation of revisions to the ISR eligibility logic within the Subcontracting Plan Reporting system on June 9, 2026, contractors might observe an increased volume of contracts and subcontracts in their Eligible Workspace. The inclusion of these records does not automatically necessitate an ISR submission. Contractors must evaluate the specific subcontracting plans associated with each contract and subcontract to determine their reporting obligations.

Subcontracting Plan Reporting system issues resolved

Show Details Jun 10, 2026 GSA deployed updates to SAM.gov to resolve known issues with the Subcontracting Plan Reporting system. Contractor users should review their Workspaces to ensure they can successfully create and submit their Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISR). Mid-year ISRs are due July 14, 2026. Visit sam.gov/esrs for more information.

Initiative None

Polybenzimidazole (PBI) High-Temperature Hollow Fiber Membranes offer a practical way to improve separation efficiency in process environments where standard polymer membranes often lose performance or durability. The platform combines high-temperature operation, chemical resistance and compact hollow-fiber design in a membrane system that can help users recover hydrogen, separate carbon dioxide and process difficult liquid streams with lower energy demand and a smaller equipment footprint than many conventional approaches. Because the fibers are formed from a robust PBI material and engineered with an integrated thin selective layer, the technology is well suited for organizations seeking stronger performance in demanding energy, chemical and water treatment settings.

How it Works

The membrane works like a selective gate built into a very small hollow strand. A mixed gas or liquid flows across the fiber, and the thin outer layer allows some molecules to pass through more readily than others, while the porous support beneath it gives the fiber strength and a path for transport. The disclosed fabrication process forms that selective layer and support structure in one step, then can add heat treatment or a thin sealing layer to improve stability and sharpen separation performance.

Technical Description

The polybenzimidazole invention is centered on a method for making asymmetric hollow fiber membranes from polybenzimidazole, a polymer valued for strong thermal and chemical stability. A PBI dope solution and a bore fluid are…
