How should SDVOSBs use industry days and pre-solicitation conferences?
Industry days are pre-solicitation events where agencies brief vendors on upcoming requirements. Attend to: get direct access to program managers and contracting officers, ask questions that shape the final requirement, assess competition (who else attends?), and gather intelligence for your capture plan. Always submit written questions — your question and the answer appear in the official solicitation record and can benefit all offerors.
