Each PALT and Tech Exchange session will be a Hybrid session which can accommodate up to 150 industry partners for in-person attendance, and up to 300 industry partners to participate virtually via MS TEAMS. RSVP instructions for each upcoming session will be posted to Sam.gov the day after each session per our established battle rhythm.
NOTE: Industry participants are required to RSVP for each session in order to receive instructions for either virtual or in-person attendance. There is no standing invite list.
Each PALT update session will provide Industry the opportunity to request updates on specific procurements of interest in a Question & Answer (Q&A) type forum. There will not be a formal agenda, but rather an open Q&A session but the PALT Update session will not to exceed 60 minutes. It will be up to Industry representatives to request an update on specific procurements of interest. Information to be provided by the Government will be limited to status updates pertaining to specific procurements. The Government will not provide any procurement sensitive information that would violate the integrity of the source selection process.
We will continue to post updated versions of our ACC-Orlando Workload Point of Contact chart and Customer Contracting Common Operating Picture (C3OP) to our ACC-Orlando public website on a monthly basis. As always, if you have any questions regarding specific programs of interest, you may contact the applicable Contracting Officer directly.
