The Department of Defense, through the 81st Contracting Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base, is hosting a Construction Industry Day on January 13, 2025, in Biloxi, Mississippi. This event aims to engage contractors by providing insights into upcoming construction contracts, the acquisition process, and fostering relationships between the Air Force and potential contractors. It is particularly relevant for businesses in the federal contracting and construction sectors, as it may lead to future opportunities for federal grants and requests for proposals (RFPs). Interested parties must RSVP due to limited seating for 40 representatives, with a deadline for submitting questions set for December 23, 2024, at 12:00 PM CST. For further inquiries, attendees can contact Erica Brown-Tanner at erica.brown_tanner@us.af.mil or Jamey Bankston at jamey.bankston@us.af.mil.
