- Updated questions and answers. SUMMARY This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) notice for planning purposes only. This RFI is issued for determining potential technologies and capabilities to consider for the future of Naval Aviation from industry and does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB), a Request for Proposal (RFP), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or an indication that the Government will contract for any of the items and/or services identified in response to this notice. No solicitation documents exist at this time. Participation in this RFI is neither mandatory nor is it requisite to future participation by a contractor in any future contract RFP. The Program Executive Office for Unmanned Aviation and Weapons, PEO(U&W), is planning to conduct an Industry Day and follow-on Idea Days to provide opportunities for industry to learn about the technology needs of PEO(U&W) with the potential for follow-on briefings regarding technologies that industry has developed. This opportunity is open to all companies that have new and innovative ideas to support the future of Naval Aviation Unmanned Air System (UAS) and Weapon programs. INDUSTRY DAY Industry Day will be an opportunity for industry to learn about the technology needs of PEO(U&W) UAS and Weapon programs. Industry Day will be held on 16 April 2015 at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall at 46900 South Shangri-La Drive, Lexington Park, MD 20653 near gate 2 of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. In order to participate in Industry Day, please register on the Constant Contact website at http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=cqbimhtab&oeidk=a07ealhdujd4b4c4a7a for the 2015 PEO(U&W) Industry Day no later than 9 April 2015. Information regarding lodging and local amenities will be provided via a registration confirmation email. This Industry Day event is open to all interested parties. Due to space limitations, no more than two representatives from each contractor will be permitted to attend, and registration will be based on a first come, first served basis. The Government does not anticipate providing opportunities for virtual Industry Day attendance. Attendance at the scheduled Industry Day and any discussions/release of information is strictly voluntary. The Government will not pay for any information provided or costs associated with travel.
