2023 Advance Planning Briefing for Industry (APBI)/Industry Day - May 2023

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Government Contracting Services (GCS), will sponsor an APBI from Tuesday, May 09, 2023 through Thursday, May 11, 2023. The event will be held in person at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Humphrey Building in Washington D.C. with a virtual option. Event will start at 9am each day. At this APBI, GCS seeks to expand the industrial base of vendors able to support ACF's twenty-one (21) program offices. The purpose of this event is to provide industry partners with a roadmap of potential contracting opportunities that are aligned with each respective organization specifically focusing on Fiscal Years 2023'2024. Additionally, this provides industry with strategic planning opportunities to adjust their future planning objectives based on the potential needs of ACF. Please note, the Government will not hear formal bids from industry, as the purpose of the APBI is for the Government to brief its upcoming opportunities to industry to better help businesses understand ACF's capability requirements. Registration for the event will open on April 4, 2023 at https://app.smartsheetgov.com/b/form/14326032857b4245a76c6b3a3d1bfb3e. The tentative schedule is listed in Attachment 1.
