  We calculate in the next-to-leading approximation the non-forward gluon
impact factors for arbitrary color state in the $t$-channel. In the case of the
octet state we check the so-called "second bootstrap condition" for the gluon
Reggeization in QCD, using the integral representation for the impact factors.
The condition is fulfilled in the general case of an arbitrary space-time
dimension and massive quark flavors for both helicity conserving and
non-conserving parts.
