PROCUREMENT INTEGRITY

Procurement Integrity is maintained throughout the acquisition, including these early engagements. We protect correspondence and information that you decide to share with USACE.

We anticipate information exchanges to continue throughout the acquisition. Under the Procurement Integrity Act, the exchanges become formal when we move into the solicitation phase.

USACE is in listening mode. We need your help and feedback to develop a good RFP. Our Project Delivery Team will use your shared knowledge and information to help us with acquisition planning.

If you share proprietary or confidential information with us, please identify it so we can take steps to appropriately manage and protect the information.

To help us manage and keep your information confidential, I ask that you only contact the USACE Contract Specialist: David Miller at david.f.miller@usace.army.mil.

Please do not contact Whiteman AFB or USACE PMs for information
