ATTACHMENT 5

INDUSTRY DAY AND ONE-ON-ONE DISCUSSIONS

1.0 Background

1.1 One purpose of tactical MR is to obtain specific and detailed information that will enable the government to identify potential vendors and their associated capability to meet performance parameters. In order for interested vendors to determine if they are reasonably qualified, it is critical for vendors to have a sound understanding of the requirement. The purpose of the industry day is for the government to expound on the requirements and give vendors an opportunity to ask questions to ensure vendors have the knowledge required to then submit a capability statement as outlined in Attachment 7.

1.2 The responses are for the follow-on acquisition team’s internal use only, and will support its market research efforts in preparation for development of the acquisition strategy. The responses may be cited in the market research report, incorporated into the acquisition strategy, or incorporated into any request(s) for proposal issued; your response will not be published on SAM.gov or shared with other industry parties. The follow-on acquisition team will not provide any feedback on your response; although a member of the acquisition team may contact you if the MDA has questions regarding your response.

# MDA Question Contractor Response

4.3 What is your intent for

participating in the one-on-one discussions?

4.4 How much time do you believe is

necessary to accomplish your agenda?

4.5

Scenario: If the acquisition team allows one meeting with each interested party that could result in many meetings with severely limited durations; but if the acquisition team applies appropriate meeting eligibility criteria, meeting durations may be substantially longer.

How do you recommend the government acquisition team fairly limit, if at all, which interested parties are eligible to request an in-person one-on-one meeting to ensure sufficient time is allotted to make each meeting meaningful for both parties?
