MIOES Industry Day Overview and Instructions.docx

MIOES DRFP Industry Days (Presentations, MDIOC Facility Tour, One-on-One Discussions)

1.0 Introduction

1.1 The purpose of the DRFP Industry Days is to provide an opportunity for potential Offerors to increase their understanding of the technical requirements and the Draft Request for Proposal. The intent is to enable potential Offerors to determine how they can best satisfy the Government’s requirements and enhance the Government’s ability to obtain quality supplies, services, solutions at reasonable prices, and increase efficiency in proposal preparation, proposal evaluation, negotiation, and contract award.

1.2 The MDA expects to develop a collaboration synergy between the MIOES acquisition team and potential Offerors to ensure an executable and affordable program has been planned using a sound business and technical approach. MDA will consider feedback and incorporate appropriate adjustments to the final RFP.

2.0 Virtual Briefings (15 October 2024)

2.1 Presentations will provide a deep-dive into the MIOES contract requirements and their respective complexity and technical challenges associated with executing these global-wide requirements. The presentation will describe the technical pain points and address how future requirements might differ from current requirements and how we want to challenge the status quo from a technical perspective.

2.2 A Microsoft TEAMS link will be provided on SAM.gov.
