Industry Outreach and Business Opportunities

The Procurement Executive

The Office of the Procurement Executive (OPE) strives to foster strong alliances with industry partners and to expand its industry base by reducing barriers for new businesses and promoting transparency through corporate outreach and engagement initiatives.

To enhance industry partnership, OPE conducts several industry engagements throughout the year. Announcements for Industry Outreach events are posted on the Acquisition Lifecycle Management (ALM) Vendor Portal.

Industry Partners

Current and prospective vendors already cleared to conduct business with the Agency.

OPE Industry Day: This event includes presentations highlighting near-term and future business opportunities from OPE's Acquisitions Groups, along with mission overviews and Agency priorities, challenges, and key initiatives.

Industry Partner Exchange (IPX): This is an interactive forum for Agency officers involved in contract execution to connect with industry representatives on current and relevant topics and challenges. Fostering a collaborative learning environment, this event supports information sharing and brainstorming to address concerns and knowledge gaps across the acquisition life cycle.

Industry Connections: OPE hosts industry events to deliver capabilities briefs to applicable Directorate and Mission Center stakeholders.

Strategic Partnerships Events: OPE will partner with industry and IC/non-IC agencies to improve collaboration and strengthen the contractor base.
