The presentation to industry will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Alamo Ballroom.

The current Bioastronautics Contract (BC) and Occupational Medicine and Occupational Health Contract (OMOHC) Statement of Work are provided on the technical library at the HHPC website, http://procurement.jsc.nasa.gov/hhpc . It is the potential offeror’s responsibility to monitor the website for updates to the technical library.
GOALS:
The goals of Industry Day are to:
1. Provide information on the current BC and OMOHC contracts.
2. Promote competition on the potential HHPC acquisition.
3. Share the Government’s current vision for the Space Life Sciences Directorate.
4. Allow NASA/JSC to better utilize industry input to improve future Request for Proposals.
Industry Day is open to all firms that are interested in pursuing contracting/subcontracting opportunities on the HHPC effort whether they have performed work at JSC or not. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.
No photographic or recording devices are permitted during the Industry Day presentation or one-on-one communication sessions.
A 45 minute open Question and Answer Session will follow the Industry Day presentation.
ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS:
To facilitate interactive communications with industry, NASA personnel will also be available for private meetings with individual companies in conjunction with Industry Day.
The purpose of these meetings is to provide industry with the opportunity to better understand the existing requirements under BC and OMOHC and to allow industry an opportunity to provide input on the questions asked in the posted Request for Information (RFI). In addition, the Government may ask for additional clarification on written responses to these questions. The meetings are intended to be question and answer sessions in which neither side will be making a formal presentation.
Any company may request a one-on-one meeting. Meetings will not exceed 25 minutes in length and attendance is limited to four persons. Scheduling of appointment times will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Appointments will be scheduled every 30 minutes between 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on October 11th and 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on October 12th.
