What this contract is for

Agency: COMMERCE, DEPARTMENT OF / OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
Location: WASHINGTON, DC
Set-aside: No Set aside used
Scope: Federal

The Government and Business Exchange (GABE) Program is a Department of Commerce (DOC) Shared Services Procurement Office (SSPO) industry engagement forum for exchanging information between Government and industry relative to existing and emerging mission requirements.

The purpose of the program is for SSPO to facilitate structured dialogue between Government and industry in promoting increased Government understanding of industry capabilities and industry understanding of Government requirements.

Successful acquisition outcomes depend on a clear understanding of industry dynamics and capabilities on the part of the Government, and a clear understanding of Government mission and objectives on the part of industry.

The GABE program provides a forum for the exchange of information to enhance both Government understanding of industry, and industry understanding of Government.

To request participation in a GABE session, industry representatives must submit their request by completing the form below.

During the session, company representatives may provide demos, provide an overview of product/service information, and discuss any other information they believe of value to the DOC.

If business sensitive/proprietary information is discussed, company representatives must clearly identify it as such so the DOC audience can clearly distinguish it from all other information exchanged.

After request submittal, sessions will be scheduled at DOC discretion on a first request, topical priority basis where the order of request submittal coupled with the mission priority of the topic will influence the sequence of session scheduling.

Given the potential volume of requests and the limited relevance of potential topic areas, DOC cannot guarantee that a session will be scheduled for every requestor.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
