Break-Out Sessions Please indicate whether a Break-Out session is requested. Sessions are limited and on a first come, first served basis at the discretion of the Government.

Break-Out Sessions – These sessions will be held over the phone via conference call. Dial-in information will be provided by the Government. The intent of these sessions is to provide Attendees a private, non-public forum to present the Government with comments, concerns, and recommendations for TSO; thus, the Break-Out sessions are designed to consist of mostly one-way communication (i.e., from the firm to the Government). The Government does not intend to share contract strategy information outside of what will be provided by the Government in the Presentations and Draft Documents. Note that the MCICOM Brief.ppt does direct companies to specific areas in which the Government is requesting feedback.

Feedback on these topics can be submitted via email to the points of contact above or during the Break-Out session.

Companies requesting a Break-Out session must indicate such in their RSVP email. These sessions will be no longer than 30 minutes in length. The Government will inform Attendees of their scheduled session no later than 19 August 2021.
