Army to brief industry on future contract plans at Aberdeen this month

The Army will brief industry in late April on the service's projected program goals and potential contracting plans for the next two fiscal years to give companies an idea of how to compete, according to an announcement posted today.

Contractors, small businesses and academia will gather at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD on April 22 and April 23, for what the Army calls the “Advance Planning Briefing to Industry,” where program executive offices and Army commands will lay out their outlook for the next couple years.

“The APG APBI will identify and showcase potential contracting opportunities that are closely tied to the organization’s roadmap, enabling industry stakeholders to prepare and respond to emerging needs,” the announcement reads.

Day one will include briefings from Communications-Electronics Command, Combat Capabilities Development Command, Army Test and Evaluation Command and the joint program executive office for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense.

Day two will follow with presentations from the intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors PEO and the command, control, communications and network PEO, according to the release.

Aside from the main briefings at Myer Auditorium, the Army is also offering additional in-person and one-on-one sessions for certain programs at the Mallette Training Facility at APG during the two-day event.
