- Description
- This Special Notice is for the purpose of announcing that the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition intends to conduct an Industry Day Webinar for Naval suppliers across priority Navy programs: e.g. Virginia Class Submarine, Expeditionary Sea Base, E/F-18, CVN, F-35. Background: �Maintaining a robust industrial base through COVID-19 and other business challenges is imperative to national defense.� As a result, the Navy is conducting an assessment of the Department of the Navy�s supply chain. Assessing the health of the supply base entails thorough assessments at the Prime and Tier 1 supplier level but also entails a much deeper assessment into the potential impacts within the Tier 3+ supply chain. The target population includes suppliers across the entire Naval supply chain including but not limited to lower tier suppliers without a direct Prime connection. If a supplier believes its product(s)/component(s) are ultimately incorporated in equipment/systems within a Navy Prime Contractor�s supply chain, then this notice applies to the supplier. This initiative is an opportunity for the Department of the Navy to assess the health of the supply base. In order to effectively communicate the scope and objective of this initiative within the supply base, the Department of the Navy will be administering an Industry Day Webinar.� This webinar is designed to announce a survey launch to the supply base and create an opportunity for Q&A about the supplier engagement process.� This supplier survey will be essential to the Navy in understanding overall supplier market health. Industry Day Webinar Information:� The Industry Day Webinar will be conducted through a video conference (with dial-in options) on September 1st, 2020 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT and will consist of two parts: (1) an overview of the Department of the Navy�s supply base health initiative and (2) an open Q&A session.� The Navy highly recommends that at least one of the supplier attendees on the call be a representative from their supply chain, operations or management team. The overview of the Department of the Navy�s supply base health initiative will address the project scope and objectives, requested supplier participation, and the survey that the Navy is requesting all suppliers to complete. The open Q&A session will allow the Navy to address questions in real-time. The participating supply base will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed by the Navy during the supply base health initiative overview. This Q&A session will take place immediately after the supply base health initiative overview. A meeting invite for the Industry Day Webinar will be sent to participants upon registration. Registration: Registration is required for the event. Please register for the event here: https://interos-ai.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_rOle0uY9TtGxvxUgYvwU7Q For any registration issues, please contact: NavySurvey@kearney.com Notices:� This Special Notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts.� This is not a request for proposals, a promise to issue a request for proposals, or a promise by the Government to pay for information received in response to this Special Notice or any subsequent Special Notice. Industry participation is voluntary and no entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of attendance at the Industry Day Webinar.� The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice.� There is no funding associated with this announcement. For the avoidance of doubt, no reimbursements or compensation of any kind will be paid to suppliers for involvement in Industry Webinar, survey completion, or follow-up conference calls. Specific acquisition strategy or contractual plans will not be addressed during the Industry Day Webinar. Industry questions and answers resulting from the briefing will be sent to registered participants after the Industry Day Webinar via email.� It is the responsibility of Supplier, when providing any questions or comments (solicited or unsolicited), to properly mark information that is considered proprietary or is otherwise restricted. Any information submitted by respondents as a result of this Special Notice is strictly voluntary. If you are interested in this event, it is advised that you monitor the SAM.gov website for any updates and/or changes.� The Navy highly recommends that at least one of the supplier attendees on the call be a representative from their supply chain, operations or management team.� Please direct any comments or questions regarding this notice to the point of contact listed below.
