AI Contract Overview

The US Army Corps of Engineers Portland District is planning to hold ongoing quarterly training and outreach events aimed at small businesses in the Construction and Supply/Services sectors interested in contracting with the District. These events are intended to prepare small businesses for maximum participation in future projects, particularly the long-term seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of the Department of Veteran's Affairs Portland Medical Center scheduled for 2021. The initiative also seeks to benefit all small contractors looking to engage with the USACE on any upcoming opportunities. The first event, held on April 10, 2019, featured an overview of the DVA project and facilitated discussions to shape the training offerings. Existing training modules cover key areas such as submittal processes, safety, and quality control, with potential plans for a matchmaking event with large prime contractors alongside the annual Portland District Industry Day in November. The outreach is designed to be interactive, encouraging small businesses to provide input on the training and information that would best prepare them for working either directly with the Portland District or as subcontractors under large prime contractors. Active participation from the small business community is emphasized to ensure the events deliver meaningful value and enhance their ability to compete for District contracts. Registration for these events is managed through an online platform, and Carol McIntyre, the Small Business Specialist for USACE Portland, serves as the primary contact for questions and further engagement. The outreach supports small business development within the construction sector and aligns with NAICS code 236220, operating out of Portland, Oregon, with performance locations in Clackamas, Oregon.

Full Description

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District, is exploring holding ongoing quarterly training/outreach events for small businesses from the Construction and Supply/Services sectors interested in doing business with us . The catalyst is to best prepare small businesses to ensure maximum participation in the long range (2021) planned Seismic Retrofit and Rehabilitation of the Department of Veteran's Affairs (DVA) Portland Medical Center, but the proposed training topics will benefit ALL small business contractors looking to work with USACE on ANY requirement. The initial April 10, 2019 event's agenda will include an overview of the upcoming DVA Project by Portland District technical personnel to be followed by an exchange with the small business community on shaping what USACE Portland can offer to best prepare them for increased participation in all of the District's upcoming acquisitions. Portland District has already developed training modules that address the submittal process, safety, and quality control that are tentatively planned as offerings. The potential of holding a matchmaking event with large Business Primes to be held November 6, adjacent to the annual Portland District Industry Day currently scheduled for November 7, is also being considered. The intent of the exchange is to provide the opportunity for the Small Business Community to tell us firsthand what training, information, process knowledge would serve them best in order to be prepared for working with the Portland District directly or through a Large Prime contractor as a subcontractor. It is important that the small business community commit to attending the event and come ready to proactively and constructively engage in the exchange to share your ideas, so the District can plan appropriately and provide a meaningful, value added BENEFIT to you as a result of the time you invest and to further increase small business participation in the District's requirements.
