(Note: When getting a badge at the Shriever Visitor Control, be sure to let them know you should be on the JNTF Visit Request List). Objectives for Workshop Day: The government will obtain industry's perspective and concerns on select topics related to the MEDAL acquisition. This input will be used to shape the source selection and contract. All contractors who responded as potential primes to the MEDAL Sources Sought Synopsis released on the CBD are encouraged to support this event if they are interested in pursuing the contract. Seating Limitations: The JNTF Decision Support Center (DSC) has 15 laptop stations and very limited additional seating. To deal with this constraint, during each of the individual topic sessions, each company will be limited to two representatives in the room, sharing a laptop station. Representatives who are to participate in other topic sessions will be able to wait in the JNTF cafeteria until their session of participation is held. Topics: Each Workshop topic will have up to five government-generated questions for contractor comment. The topics are listed below. The government questions for each topic will be available on HERBB by Tuesday, 2 Mar 99, as well as available at the Industry Day on Friday, 5 Mar 99. We highly encourage contractors to bring written responses to the questions in order to allow them maximum time to critique other contractor inputs. ISISS/MEDAL Transition Issues, TSPR, Contract Issues, System Programming Agency (SPA) Support, Early Warning Radar Upgrade (EWRU). Format for the Sessions: For each topic session the facilitators will lead the group through each government question and allow ample time for participants to type in anonymous answers, thoughts or concerns. Upon completion of responses and before moving to the next question, within a topic, all responses will be open for electronic anonymous comment or clarification. In the course of this final comment phase of each question there are bound to be questions that surface. While the government will have representatives present, the government will not have time, nor access to the appropriate personnel, to address these questions during the Workshop. These questions will be captured as part of the Workshop Day log. Electronic copies of the log will be provided to each representative that indicates a need for a copy on the attendance roster.
