Participation is voluntary and will not affect eligibility for future acquisitions. The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with responding to this notice or participating in the event. Background: USACE FED is exploring innovative acquisition and project delivery approaches to address complex requirements, accelerated schedules, cost pressures, and the need for greater collaboration and flexibility. Building on industry experience with approaches such as Progressive Design-Build (PDB), Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and Other Transaction Authority (OTA), FED seeks direct industry feedback to help inform future acquisition strategies and improve project delivery outcomes. Event Objective: This Reverse Industry Day is designed to provide industry with a platform to: Share real-world experiences and lessons learned from innovative and non-traditional acquisition and project delivery approaches. Discuss implementation strategies, challenges, risks, and potential solutions. Offer recommendations and feedback to help inform future FED acquisition strategies and project delivery approaches. Market Intelligence and Industry Insights Agenda: Presentations will be conducted in English only, with slides displayed in both English and Korean. Due to time constraints, interpretation will not be provided during the presentations; however, interpretation will be available during the Q&A and discussion periods. Morning (0900 1215): The Government will provide brief educational presentations on Alternative Delivery Methods (ADMs), including PDB, OTA, industrialized construction methodologies, an overview of real-world technical and acquisition challenges, followed by an open discussion between the Government and industry participants. Lunch (1215 1330): Off-site / On Your Own Afternoon (1330 1530): The Government will present representative future project scenarios. The moderator will facilitate discussions with industry participants on how the approaches discussed during the morning session could be applied to these scenarios. The event will conclude with a networking session.
