- Description
- The purpose of this special notice is to announce that Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction (OALC) is sponsoring a Virtual Reverse Industry Day Briefing via Zoom platform on November 24, 2020, at 10:00 am Eastern Standard Time (EST). This Reverse Industry Day will enable VA s acquisition workforce to listen to Industry s perspective and capture lessons learned to aid with future requirements planning. The transparency afforded via this forum will foster better communication and support of the Agency s mission for FY 2021 and beyond. Previous industry engagements have been highly recognized and lauded by our vendors. This Reverse Industry Day will also provide an opportunity for industry to express their views and perspectives on Request for Information (RFIs). Participants will hear experts share and discuss real-life examples and impacts from an industry perspective. In addition, they will provide recommendations and suggestions on how to improve the overall RFI process. The ability to share these perspectives helps to improve and diminish the myths, misunderstandings, and ambiguities associated with the RFI process. It further intends to improve communications and interactions more openly between government and industry. These discussions are based on the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Memorandum, dated April 30, 2019, Myth-Busting #4 - Strengthening Engagement with Industry Partners through Innovative Business Practices, which is attached to this announcement as a pre-read reference. The registration period for this event will close on November 20, 2020 at 3:00 pm EST. Interested parties shall register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reverse-industry-day-tickets-128529470105.
