II. Industry Day Information

The purpose of this Industry Day is to allow ballast water treatment system (BWTS) and engineering services vendors to obtain additional information regarding a Navy requirement to design, fabricate, and test Ultraviolet (UV) BWTS as prototype units.

The Industry Day is an opportunity for vendors to engage with Navy senior program managers, technical authorities, and contract officials about the Navy’s strategy to develop BWTS for Navy ships. The Industry Day will include an overview on current program requirements and long range acquisition forecast, as well as technical requirements for the BWTS, while allowing questions and feedback from industry. Additionally, the Industry Day will provide a networking opportunity for potential teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements in support of this effort, one-on-one discussions with Government representatives, and will include a tour of the NSWCCD Ballast Water Research Laboratory.

Information provided at the Industry Day will be unclassified. The Government will provide the Industry Day agenda and presentation materials https://www.fbo.gov/index.php?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=e175ad14e5fac8ecaa4274133901af5f&tab=core&_cview=1 https://www.fbo.gov/index.php?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=e175ad14e5fac8ecaa4274133901af5f&tab=core&_cview=1
