Posted 14 April 2014: Please see the attached Post-Industry Day Q&A. Please note that any further questions will not be answered until the solicitation is released. Posted 26 March 2014: The Industry Day Brief, Q&A and list of registered attendees (that permitted SSC Pacific to distribute their contact information) have been posted. While we estimate there were around 100 attendees, we only had 50 or so confirm their attendance at the Industry Day. Therefore, we have decided to publish the list of "registered attendees" as opposed to the list of actual attendees. Posted 6 March 2014: Significant changes including (but not limited to) the date, location, maximum personnel per company and base access instructions have been made to the ESS Industry Day Announcement and Base Access Instructions. Please pay very close attention to the attached document (Revised_Industry_Day_Announcement_and_Instructions.pdf) which contains all of the updates/revisions. It is of utmost importance that you read the instructions carefully to see how your (or your company's) attendance may be affected and follow them accordingly. Posted 5 March 2014: Brand new SSC Pacific policies/procedures for getting non-DoD personnel on base as well as the number of attendees (which greatly exceeded our initial expectations) have presented SSC Pacific with some difficult challenges in hosting this Industry Day. As a result, the Industry Day location, time and date will be changed. Please check back for updates to see when and where the Industry Day will be held. Posted 28 Feb 2014: For those who desire to attend Industry Day, please see the attached Industry Day Base & Building Access Instructions as well as the Base Access Form (Excel Spreadsheet). Should no one in your group of attendees have a DoD form of ID (CAC/NCAC/Military retirement ID, Dependent ID), please notify the appropriate Contract Specialist (Jacob Ward (contact@example.gov) for ESS) immediately (no later than 3 March @ noon) as a Visit Request in accordance with the Base Access Form-1 excel spreadsheet is required. Posted 25 Feb 2014: INDUSTRY DAY: An industry day for this acquisition has been planned for March 14, 2014. Please see the attachment entitled "Industry_Day_N66001-14-R- 0078_ESS" for details.
