2. PURPOSE AND ACQUISITION OBJECTIVES

The Government is hosting an in-person Industry Day for the Fighter Engine Re-competition. In accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 10 (Market Research), specifically RFO 10.001(c), RFO Subpart 15.1 (Presolicitation and Solicitation), specifically RFO 15.101 (Early exchanges with industry), and the FAR Companion (FC 10.001(c) & (d)), the primary purpose of this event is to conduct robust, two-way pre-solicitation market research, brief the Government’s propulsion priorities and operational timelines, and solicit direct industry feedback. This exchange supports the strategic mandates of Executive Order 14265 (Modernizing Defense Acquisitions and Spurring Innovation in the Defense Industrial Base) and Executive Order 14372 (Accountability and Resilience in the Defense Industrial Base). The strategic intent is to move beyond legacy transactional procurement toward a partnership paradigm that drives manufacturing resiliency and propulsion modernization that maximizes "Time on Wing" (ToW), and aggregates global demand signals to secure optimal outcomes. DISCLAIMER: This Special Notice is issued solely for market research and acquisition planning purposes. This announcement DOES NOT constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR). Participation is strictly voluntary and does not commit the Government to issue a solicitation, award a contract, or reimburse any costs incurred by industry participants in preparing for, attending, or responding to this event.
