We further analyze the definition and the calculation of
the heavy quark impact factor at next-to-leading (NL)
$\log s$ level, and we provide its analytical expression
in a previously proposed k-factorization scheme.
Our results indicate that k-factorization holds at NL level
with a properly chosen energy scale, and with the same gluonic
Green's function previously found in the massless probe case.
