Department of Homeland Security Industry Day 2010

The Department of Homeland Security hosted its 4th Annual Industry Day on November 17, 2010, at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. This event was designed to provide federal contractors, including large businesses and various small disadvantaged groups—such as 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran, and women-owned small businesses—with advanced acquisition planning information. Key DHS components presented panels moderated by their respective Heads of Contracting Activity, offering detailed insights into specific contracting opportunities and requirements to foster competition and improve industry understanding of DHS needs. Attendance was limited to two representatives per company, with registration required, though the event was also available via webcast without prior registration. The contract administration for this event was managed by the Contract Administration Services Division of DHS. The solicitation, identified as DHSHQ_Industry_Day_2010_01 and posted on November 2, 2010, focused on NAICS code 336992. The event served as a crucial platform for industry engagement, ensuring transparency and communication between DHS and the contractor community. The point of contact for this event was Bob Jeffers, and further information and webcast access were provided through the DHS event website. This Industry Day exemplifies DHS’s commitment to inclusive and broad-based subcontracting opportunities while streamlining the acquisition process.
