C130T Avionics Obsolescence Upgrade Industry Day

The Naval Air Systems Command is sponsoring an unclassified Industry Day for the upcoming competitive requirement for the US Navy's C-130T Avionics Obsolescence Upgrade (AOU) Program. The event will provide a general overview of PMA-207's AOU requirements, a forum to ask questions, networking opportunities, and an opportunity to have a one-on-one session with the Government. The Industry Day will take place on the 9th and 10th of November 2010.
The Industry Day is intended to give Industry partners the opportunity to ask questions and to provide feedback on the Government's draft Performance Work Statement (PWS), which will be released on or around 25 October, 2010. The draft PWS will be forwarded to registered participants and also posted as an update to this announcement. Industry partners are requested to submit specific questions and feedback regarding the draft PWS via e-mail to Ms. Teri Berrian at teri.berrian@navy.mil no later than 15:00 on 3 November 2010. Please indicate whether the question is "General" - to be addressed during the Industry Day presentation or "Private" - to be discussed in a one-on-one session.
The Industry Day will begin at 08:30 on 9 November 2010 at DCS Corp Building 1 located at 46641 Corporate Drive, Lexington Park, MD 20653. The complex will be open by 08:00 to accommodate registration verification. Following the Industry Day presentation, the Government will host one-on-one sessions with interested Prime Offerors, along with their anticipated subcontractor team, provided prior coordination with the Government is established. The one-on-one sessions give Prime Offerors a chance to ask specific questions regarding the program that they did not want to share during the presentation. These sessions will be limited to 45 minutes and will be held between 13:00 - 17:00 on Nov 9th and all day on Nov 10th starting at 08:00. Session times will be randomly assigned and Prime Offerors will be notified of their time slot via email.
