DHS Industry Day

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is hosting an Industry Day event designed to facilitate communication between DHS and industry representatives regarding upcoming acquisition plans. Scheduled for December 3, 2008, at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., the full-day event aims to share key information about DHS requirements and encourage competition among contractors. The event is open to federal contractors, including large and small businesses, as well as representatives from various small and disadvantaged business categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, veteran-owned, and woman-owned enterprises. Participation is limited to one representative per company, and space is restricted, necessitating prior registration through the conference website. For those unable to attend in person, presentations will be webcast on the day of the event, with access details provided online. The organizing office handling contract administration is located in Washington, D.C., under the Department of Homeland Security, with E. Darlene Bullock serving as the contracting officer and primary point of contact. Interested parties can obtain further information or assistance by reaching out via phone, email, or fax, as provided in the event details. This Industry Day serves as an important forum for advancing transparency and collaboration in DHS contracting opportunities.
