GCV Meetup

The Army will hold a pre-proposal conference on the Ground Combat Vehicle March 15, according to a notice on the program's Web site.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, MI, and attendees are required to register by March 5.

Though attendance is recommended for those who plan to respond to the GCV request for proposals released last week, it is neither required nor a prerequisite for submitting a proposal, the notice states.

"The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum to address questions potential offerors have submitted regarding the GCV RFP," the document adds.

Questions may be submitted by e-mail to the program office between Feb. 26 and March 7, but no verbal questions will be allowed at the conference. Attendees may also submit written questions during the conference's lunch hour. Questions that require extra time will be answered through posts on the GCV Web site.

"The answers to all questions will be available to all potential GCV offerors," the notice says.
