All parties interested in competing in the BGIF Operations and Support Services (BOSS) contract are invited to attend. Each contractor may send up to four (4) attendees. If the Government receives overwhelming interest, the Government may ask the interested parties to reduce the number of attendees. The Government�s intent of holding this event is to provide all interested parties a clearer understanding of the BOSS PWS scope and associated risks. The Government encourages participation by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with mission area experience in cybersecurity, network infrastructure, facility maintenance and Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR). This event is on-site only; no remote participation. The Industry Day is hosted solely for information and planning purposes. This does not constitute a solicitation (RFP/RFQ), nor does this constitute a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This Industry Day event does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. All interested parties will meet in the BGIF lobby of 6304C Spine Road in Boulder Colorado NLT 0800 Mountain Time the day of the Industry Day. The Government intends to post a Draft RFP and request for an optional white paper (not to exceed 3 pages in length) to solicit industry input on 6 February by 4:00 pm MT. This date is subject to change, but it will be NLT 10 February. Details of white paper submissions will be posted with the Draft RFP, and the white papers will be due NLT 14 Feb by 8:00 am MT. The event will include three parts: 19 Feb: General Session including BGIF/OPIR TAP Lab/OBAC overview and BOSS overview 19 Feb: BGIF group tour 19 Feb - 20 Feb: Optional one-on-one sessions with the Government team will be offered to all interested parties who RSVP to the POCs below NLT 7 February. The Government highly encourages white paper submissions NLT 14 February. These sessions will provide the interested parties the opportunity to speak on their innovative approaches and technical capabilities. The Government will NOT provide additional information in these one-on-ones beyond what was provided in General Session. Back-up day in case of inclement weather that forces BGIF closure is 5-6 March 2025, same agenda and schedule as above. Tours of the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Cell (OBAC) at Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado or projected OPIR TAP Lab South spaces (Garden of the Gods facility, Colorado Springs) will not be offered, however, the Government will consider industry questions. Access to the BGIF requires active Interim DoD Secret or higher clearance. No uncleared individuals will be allowed into the event. Each contractor that notifies the POC�s below of their intent to attend the Industry Day/Site Tour will receive confirmation from the Government by 1600 Mountain time, 13 February 2025 and a request to certify individual security clearances required for entry to the facility. Note: The Government does not plan to hold another site visit related to BOSS upon release of the RFP; interested parties desiring to see the site should attend the Industry Day. Interested parties are highly encouraged to attend Industry Day, but not attending does NOT disqualify interested parties from participating in the solicitation. Questions from interested parties will not be entertained on industry day itself. Following the end of the Industry Day, interested parties are encouraged to submit any questions or comments on the Draft RFP or industry day post to the Government within 5 business days of industry day.
