NAVFAC and Program Executive Office Industrial Infrastructure (PEO II) will host an Industry day

"THINK DIFFERENT, BUILD BETTER"

June 5, 2024 (virtual)

August 13-15, 2024 (Washington, DC)

Free Event

The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) and Program Executive Office Industrial Infrastructure (PEO II) will host a Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP) Industry Day on June 5, 2024 (virtual) and August 13-15, 2024 (Washington, DC).

This event will be held in two parts. On JUNE 5, 2024 at 1000ET, the Navy will present a SIOP overview and the implementation plan for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard (PHNS),
including anticipated projects, their sequencing, and the general acquisition strategy.

The approximately two-hour June event will occur virtually and is intended to stimulate collaboration and generate ideas from industry and academia on how SIOP can be implemented at PHNS, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS), Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) faster, with lower total ownership cost, and/or better performance than traditional government methods. More information on SIOP is available at//www.navfac.navy.mil/PEO-Industrial-Infrastructure

The URL to participate in the June event will be published in an update to this notice, will be available on the SIOP and NAVFAC social media pages, and can be requested from siopcommunications@us.navy.mil.On AUGUST 13 – 15, 2024 in Washington, DC, PEO II will host sessions with individual organizations who offer different ideas, methods, products, technologies, or approaches to fulfil the requirements described during the June event. Each organization (e.g.,contractor, vendor, professional association, academic institution, etc.) will have approximately 30 minutes (including Q&A) to present its recommendation to a panel of federal government representatives. The intent is to expose government technical and contracting personnel to ideas not typically used in federal procurements (principally design, construction, and industrial equipment) so that the historic government approach is modified to improve outcomes.

The Navy wants to explicitly include new material, methods, and approaches and avoid unknowingly excluding ideas by using traditional methods, e.g. Unified Facilities Criteria or Unified Facilities Guide Specifications.

The Government encourages participation from non-traditional defense contractors, small businesses, and small disadvantaged businesses. The Navy is looking for innovative ideas across the full range of construction disciplines. It is anticipated that government representatives and participants will be organized in the following affinity groups:

1) Waterfront & Equipment

2) Foundation & Structural

3) Building Envelope & Finishes

4) HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Building Controls

5) Cybersecurity

6) Energy, Utilities, Environment

7) Design, Acquisition, Contracting

Due to time and space limitations, participation in the August event will be prioritized based on the quality of ideas submitted, e.g. new ideas ahead of general organization
qualification presentations.
 

Organizations desiring to participate in the August, in-person event must submit the attached registration form and a two-page (maximum) description of your organization’s idea by July 2, 2024 at 5pm ET. Selected participants will be notified with additional information by July 20, 2024.
