COVID-19 CSOP Industry Day

Dear Industry Partners,

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the overwhelming response to DHS's General Solicitation for Innovative Commercial Products in Support of CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) Response that was posted on April 17, 2020 at beta.SAM.gov. My team is diligently leading proposal peer review efforts with program officials across DHS. We are extremely impressed by the submissions we have received to date.

Since posting of solicitation, the Department's capability gaps and priorities related to COVID-19 response have evolved. To be transparent and forthright with DHS requirements, and to help inform future submissions under the solicitation, I am hosting a virtual Industry Day on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 from 2 pm until 3 pm EST. The Industry Day is intended to provide an opportunity for Industry to hear directly from me and other DHS officials about DHS's current priorities and known problem statements related to COVID-19 response efforts.

If you are interested in attending the Industry Day, please register at the following link no later than June 1, 2020, 5:00pm EST: https://cvent.me/KbN0Xl. To optimize opportunities for our Industry partners to attend, we are limiting participation to no more than two (2) individuals per company. A follow up email will be sent to you after the registration closing date to confirm your registration status.

I also invite you to submit questions in writing prior to the CSOP Industry Day so that we may address them during the presentation. Questions are to be submitted via email to COVID19CSOP@HQ.DHS.GOV no later than June 1, 2020 at 5 pm EST. We will do our best to address as many questions as possible during the presentation.

I am extremely grateful for your interest in supporting DHS's COVID-19 response efforts and look forward to your participation in the upcoming Industry Day.

Soraya Correa

DHS Chief Procurement Officer
