After these briefings the remainder of the time is available for individual 45 minute vendor meetings (pre-scheduled) to allow vendors to discuss specific questions concerning our SPS weight reduction effort and female PPE. Vendors will also be allowed to show the Government weight reduction effort or female PPE they have or are developing. Vendors will be given time to set-up/lay-out their weight reduction and/or female PPE samples prior to the vendor meeting. Each vendor is limited to one (1) 45-minute breakout meeting; meetings will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis. This meeting is optional and attendance is not mandatory for any future contract actions.
