DHS Industry Day

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is organizing a one-day Industry Day event on December 3, 2008, at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., aimed at providing federal contractors and interested businesses with detailed information on DHS's upcoming acquisition plans. The purpose of the event is to foster better communication of DHS requirements, promote transparency, and encourage competitive participation from a broad range of industry sectors, including small and disadvantaged businesses such as 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, and woman-owned firms. Presentations from the event will also be accessible via webcast on the day of the conference, ensuring wider industry participation beyond those attending in person. Attendees are limited to one representative per company due to space constraints, and advance registration is required through the designated online portal. The event is coordinated by the Contract Administration Services Division of DHS, with the primary point of contact for contracting questions being E. Darlene Bullock. The solicitation reference for this event is DHSIndustryDayNAICS517911, aligning with NAICS code 517911. Overall, this Industry Day represents a strategic effort by DHS to enhance industry engagement, share early acquisition insights, and build a more competitive contracting environment for a diverse array of businesses interested in partnering with the Department.
