INDUSTRY DAY - Grounds Maintenance for Multiple Installations on Okinawa, JP

The 18th Contracting Squadron (18CONS) will be hosting an Industry Day for an anticipated requirement for Grounds Maintenance services at Multiple Installations across Okinawa, Japan. This notice is intended to inform industry partners of the event and to identify any interested parties.

The purpose of this Industry Day is to provide a forum for the Government to share information regarding this significant future requirement and to better understand the capabilities of the marketplace. By reviewing lessons learned from previous contracts, including operational challenges and limitations, we aim to collaboratively refine the acquisition strategy for this effort. This interactive session will allow potential offerors to ask preliminary questions and provide valuable feedback. Topics will include the contract's objectives, potential scope, and the anticipated timeline for the official solicitation. This is a valuable opportunity for industry partners to help shape this future requirement and learn about the unique operational needs for providing grounds maintenance services on large-scale military installations.
