To support this requirement, NAVAIR intends to compete this effort as a full and open competition.

(Offers are advised that a DRAFT RFP currently exists and may be accessed at the following location: www.fbo.gov). Delivery Orders will be competed amongst the awardees for specific program requirements within the scope of the contract(s).

NAVAIR intends to conduct an Industry Day session on 17 December 2013 at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in California, Maryland. The purpose of Industry Day is to: 1) improve the understanding of Government requirements and industry capabilities, 2) provide prospective offerors an opportunity for networking (i.e. for such purposes as subcontracting opportunities, etc.) and 3) to collect any written questions that prospective offerors may submit through the course of the industry day.

Optional one-on-one Industry presentations to the Government will be allowed in scheduled 15 minute sessions during the afternoon of 17 December 2013 and the following day 18 December 2013. These presentations will not be interactive and the Government will not be providing dialogue once the prospective offeror has begun their presentation.

Please register for Industry Day (PMA-281 Software IDIQ/MAC), pursuant to RSVP requirements listed below.

Attendance on Industry Day is NOT a requirement and in no way affects any company from submitting a proposal in response to any forthcoming solicitations.
