The Department of Energy will hold a pre-proposal conference April 17 for its Brookhaven National Laboratory procurement, it said yesterday. The daylong meeting will take place at the Upton, N.Y., lab and will begin at 9:15 a.m. The meeting will include a tour of the laboratory as well as insight into the recently released Request for Proposals, but DOE said it will not take questions and answers. Any questions must be submitted to [email protected] by 3 p.m. April 11. “Questions received by the deadline will be answered at the Pre-proposal Conference,” DOE said. “The answers to any questions submitted after the deadline or at the Pre-proposal Conference will not be answered at the Pre-proposal Conference, but instead will be posted on the website at a later date.” The deadline for registering for the conference is also 3 p.m. April 11.
