September 24, 2026

Agenda Industry Day Goal

Anticipated Acquisition Strategy and Contract Structure Overview of the Contract Major Task Areas (TAs) IDIQ Award Eligibility and Task Order (TO) Guidelines Planned Acquisition Milestones Anticipated Task Area Activities

Questions and Answers

Industry Day Goal Industry Engagement: Inform prospective vendors of the upcoming LTPP Program Engineering Services (LPES) procurement.

Clarify Requirements: Explain the multi-area eligibility rules and encourage quality teaming.

Anticipated Acquisition Strategy and LPES Contract Structure Overview of the Anticipated Contract:

Multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Period of Performance: 60 months Contract ceiling: $16M Three major Task Areas (TAs)

Anticipated RFP may include draft TO Request for Proposals (TOPRs) to provide sample for the structure of TO that will be issued under the IDIQ.

LPES IDIQ Contract Award Eligibility and TO Guidelines Offerors must demonstrate technical capability in at least one

(1) of the three (3) designated TAs to be eligible for a base IDIQ contract award.

Once awarded a base IDIQ contract, all prime contractors are eligible to compete for all TOs, regardless of the specific areas they demonstrated capability in for the base award.

Planned Acquisition Milestones Anticipated RFP Release: November 2026 Anticipated Contract Award: February 2027

LPES Major Task Areas (TAs)
