Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Charleston District (SAC) Subject: Reverse Industry Day and Listening Session – Emerging Acquisition Strategies for Future Projects The U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Charleston District (SAC), invites industry partners to participate in a Reverse Industry Day focused on emerging acquisition strategies and project delivery methods.

This event is intended to foster open dialogue between industry and USACE regarding innovative approaches to design and construction procurement.

BACKGROUND Industry partners have gained significant experience implementing progressive and collaborative delivery methods, including Progressive Design-Build (PDB), Design-Build to Budget (DB2B), Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC), and Other Transaction Authorities (OTA).

USACE is exploring opportunities to expand the use of these tools where appropriate and seeks direct feedback from industry to help shape future acquisition strategies and solicitation approaches.

Rather than conducting individual capability briefings, USACE will convene industry representatives in a roundtable forum to share lessons learned, discuss best practices, and identify opportunities to 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 using emerging acquisition methods. • Discuss successful implementation strategies, challenges, and risk mitigation approaches. • Provide recommendations on solicitation structure, evaluation criteria, partnering practices, and contract administration considerations. • Offer feedback that may inform future USACE acquisition planning and solicitation development.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
