CY 2026 PALT Schedule.pptx

This is an event schedule document announcing the Calendar Year 2026 Procurement Administrative Lead Time (PALT) Update sessions and Technical Exchange sessions hosted by U.S. Army Command-Orlando (ACC-ORL) and the Capability Portfolio Executive Simulation, Training, Test & Threat (CPE ST3) program.

The document provides a tentative calendar of ten events scheduled throughout 2026, with PALT sessions occurring on January 13, February 17, April 14, May 12, July 14, September 8, and November 3, plus two CPE ST3 Technical Exchange sessions on March 10 and August 11. Additional events include the TSIS 2026 conference (June 17-18), AUSA Annual Meeting & Expo 2026 (October 12-14), and I/ITSEC (November 30-December 3). All sessions are scheduled for 1100-1200 EST and will be conducted as hybrid events accommodating up to 150 in-person attendees and 300 virtual participants via Microsoft Teams. RSVP instructions will be posted to SAM.gov following each session, and industry participants must register individually for each session as there is no standing invite list. PALT sessions are structured as open question-and-answer forums allowing industry stakeholders to request updates on specific current and future procurements of interest. The Department of the Army, through ACC-ORL Director/Senior Contracting Official COL Lisbon Williams, is hosting these sessions to improve communication between the government and industry stakeholders interested in doing business with the U.S. Government.
