Navy Acquisition Panel at the Interservice/Industry Training Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC)

The Navy Acquisition Panel at the Interservice/Industry Training Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) is an interactive event organized by the Department of Defense's NAWC Training Systems Division, aimed at addressing key acquisition challenges faced by the Navy. Panelists have identified specific acquisition issues, known as "head-hurters," and the session chair seeks input from participants across academia, industry, and government to propose potential solutions. Interested respondents must submit their contributions, specifying their name, organization, the acquisition issue addressed, and the corresponding panelist. Although not all submissions are guaranteed discussion during the panel, selected responses will be featured in a dedicated session, with an open Q&A to engage participants further. The event is scheduled for November 28, 2018, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM at Room S310AB, with responses due by 2:00 PM on November 14, 2018. This initiative provides a collaborative platform to tackle current and emerging acquisition concerns within the Navy’s training systems domain, encouraging a broad range of perspectives from the defense industry and educational institutions. The solicitation is identified under NAICS code 333318, and the venue for the conference is in Orlando, Florida. Further details are provided in the official posting, facilitating constructive discourse and innovative approaches to improve Navy acquisition processes.
