This RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation and does not guarantee any future contract opportunities. The notice emphasizes that participation is strictly voluntary, and the government will not reimburse any associated costs.

For the SECRET-level Day One, attendees must be U.S. citizens with a valid SECRET clearance and currently performing a DoD or Federal Intelligence Community contract with a specific DD254 authorization. Day One is limited to two representatives per small business and a maximum of five total representatives per large business.

Registration deadlines are critical: February 21, 2025, for Day Two and March 3, 2025, for Day One. Interested parties must submit any questions in writing via email by March 7, 2025, to the specified Navy contacts, with strict instructions to avoid proprietary or classified information.
