Description
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a virtual Industry Day on January 5, 2022 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to provide an overview of the EPA’s planned implementation and use of the Agency’s newly developed Blind Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) evaluation strategy, an innovative technique for fostering procurement equity in evaluating Technical Proposals.
The overall objective of this engagement is to obtain, consider, and address industry feedback regarding, at a minimum: concerns in complying with solicitation requirements contained in the Blind TEP local provisions; any assumed or perceived barriers to competition; and any suggested methodologies to be considered for inclusion in the local provisions to ensure offerors’ corporate identity is not revealed within the Technical Proposal. The EPA also seeks to understand any concerns that industry may have about EPA’s implementation of this initiative. Therefore, this will be an open forum style engagement and one-on-one interactions will not be conducted during the forum.
Interested parties are required to "declare" their intent to attend by registering for the Industry Day via EventBrite by no later than January 2, 2022 at the following URL:
