All questions asked during the One-on-One Session will be posted non-attributable SAM.gov.

The Government welcomes any feedback, questions, or comments to assist us in developing a successful acquisition. As such, the Government reserves the right to incorporate suggested changes into the acquisition without identifying the submitter or obtaining approval. All questions must be submitted in writing on company letterhead to the Contracting Officer, Diana Kennedy by e-mail (diana.kennedy@us.af.mil). Questions should be limited to matters not involving classified and/or business proprietary matters. At any time after receipt of comments/questions, the Government reserves the right to contact respondents for further clarification of the submittal. The Government does not intend to answer all questions at Industry Day; however, all questions received from potential offerors and Government responses will be posted to Sam.gov after the event.

This announcement is not a request for proposal (RFP), a promise for contract, or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Government. Attendance at Industry Day is strictly voluntary. The Air Force will not assume liability for costs incurred by an attendee or for travel expenses or marketing efforts; therefore, attendee's cost in response to this notice is not an allowable direct charge and will not be reimbursed by the Government.
