The procurement center for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental holds its first so-called “Reverse Industry Day,” online in May, a move sought by the Government Accountability Office.
The virtual Reverse Industry Day is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern Time on May 4, according to a Monday notice from the DOE Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center in Cincinnati.
During the two-hour-plus online session, two panels of industry representatives will discuss how companies decide whether to bid on business “and other issues and perspectives across the procurement lifecycle,” according to a DOE announcement.
The Reverse Industry Day, being co-hosted by the Professional Services Council, a federal contractor advocacy organization that has helped coordinate such events since 2015, according to DOE.
The Government Accountability Office recommended this type of event in a January report focused on perceived unfairness in DOE procurements.
Details on how to register for the Reverse Industry Day can be found here.
General questions for DOE about the event should be emailed to federal contract manager Travis Marshall, travis.marshall@emcbc.doe.gov.
