LRD Industry Day 2024

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (LRD) is hosting an Industry Day on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The event will take place at the Hilton Netherland Plaza from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern time. This in-person event is designed for both small and large businesses interested in learning about the division's mission and exploring federal contracting opportunities for Fiscal Year 2025. The LRD encompasses seven districts: Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Huntington, Louisville, Nashville, and Pittsburgh. The event is free, but registration is mandatory and will close at 5 PM Eastern on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

The primary objective of the Industry Day is to provide contractors with comprehensive insights into LRD's operational capabilities, upcoming projects, and procurement strategies. Contractors will have opportunities to network with district representatives, attend presentations, and participate in breakout sessions covering topics such as acquisition processes, market research, and regional forecasting. The event will highlight significant projects across multiple business lines, including navigation, flood risk management, environmental resiliency, and construction initiatives with contract values ranging from $5 million to $250 million. Potential opportunities include a $2B nationwide Environmental Resiliency Conservation Infrastructure Program MATOC, major lock and dam construction projects, and environmental remediation efforts. To participate, contractors must register through Eventbrite and are encouraged to be registered in SAM.gov and the Disaster Response Registry to maximize their eligibility for future contracts.
