SASPO Hill Industry Day 2026

This Pre-Solicitation Notice announces Hill Industry Day 2026, an industry engagement event hosted by the Department of the Air Force's Strategic Air and Space Procurement Office (SASPO) at Hill Air Force Base. Rather than a traditional procurement of specific goods or services, this Industry Day is designed to facilitate communication and collaboration between Air Force procurement teams and industry partners regarding potential future contracting opportunities. The event will feature presentations on SASPO's strategic sourcing initiatives, reverse engineering and repair development, Other Transaction Authority (OTA) programs, and weapon system opportunities available through the 448th Supply Chain Control Initiative (SCCI). Key objectives include introducing small business resources, providing Source Approval Request (SAR) training, and enabling direct networking between industry representatives and Air Force personnel. The event is scheduled for January 15, 2026, at Weber State University's Davis Campus in Layton, Utah, from 0800-1530 hours Mountain Time, with industry participants required to RSVP by January 12, 2026, by emailing 429scms.saspo.workflow@us.af.mil with company information and attendee details.

No set-aside designations are associated with this Industry Day notice, and no incumbent contractors or specific award values are identified in the pre-solicitation materials. This is an informational and networking event rather than a formal solicitation with defined contract amounts or quantities. The event serves as a precursor to future SASPO solicitations and provides industry with visibility into Air Force procurement priorities and available contracting vehicles, including opportunities related to weapon system support and strategic sourcing needs. Attendance is open to all interested industry participants, with parking available at the venue for $4.00 per day. The agenda includes multiple networking breaks and presentations from military and procurement specialists including Mr. Brian Butler, Mr. Phillip Gullatt, Ms. Beth Shackelford, and other Air Force personnel who will discuss operational needs, available contracting mechanisms, and collaboration pathways with Hill Air Force Base procurement teams.
