Interested parties may submit questions, inquiries, or other communications prior to Industry Day, utilizing the attached questionnaire form, to Stacy Noble at stacy.e.noble.civ@us.navy.mil. The Government may answer questions at Industry Day, post answers on SAM.gov, or both. Questions may be submitted without registered attendance at the event.  

The CACI Suite is located outside of secured gates, so Visit Requests are not required. However, a NAVSEA Badge, Common Access Card (CAC), military ID, or state driver’s license will be required at Registration.  Check-In starts at 9:00am and the presentation will begin promptly at 10:00am.

The Government has decided to conduct one-on-one meetings with Industry following the morning presentation. During Check In, between 9:00am and 10:00am, Industry will be invited to sign up on a first come first serve basis for a one-on-one meeting with the Government. One-on-one meetings will begin starting at 11:00am and will go as long as necessary to accommodate all participants. Meetings will be no longer than 10 minutes. The meetings will not be a dialogue, but rather an opportunity for Industry to present any information it deems relevant to the acquisition to Government personnel. Government personnel will not answer questions during the one-on-one meetings.

Any information or ideas shared during this Industry Day may be used to develop AN/SLQ-25E technical and acquisition documents. This is NOT a Request for Proposals. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME. The government will NOT assume any liability for any contractor expenses incurred for responding to this notice or attending Industry Day.

NOTE 1:  There is parking below the building, however it is VERY limited and fills up quickly. The Metro is just a few minutes away from the building. Uber/other rideshare options are strongly encouraged as well.
