The next Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Reverse
Industry Day (RID) is fast approaching. After the overwhelming success of the
first and second RIDs, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer will be
hosting a third event on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. This full-day
event is a unique opportunity to engage with industry representatives to learn
more about industry processes and methodologies related to identifying and
tracking DHS opportunities, pricing, proposal preparation, and various contract
performance considerations. Past events have featured important topics
such as demystifying the private sector, how vendors decide whether to bid (or
not) on a solicitation, and factors affecting innovation and the participation
of non-traditional vendors. You will have an opportunity to ask specific
questions of the industry panel members and hear from Chief Procurement Officer
Soraya Correa as well as other DHS senior leaders about the importance of your
role in industry engagement and how it directly supports the DHS mission.
RID is a no-charge, resident event in support of
Acquisition Innovations in Motion and the Secretary’s Unity of Effort
initiative. It is designed to improve DHS’s understanding of industry
practices related to identifying, tracking, pricing, bidding, winning, and
performing on DHS contracts. The purpose is to provide the acquisition
workforce an opportunity to learn about the issues that are most important to
industry when doing business with the Department.
