💡 What is a Reverse Industry Day?
This event is designed as a two-way dialogue. We want to hear from you! The USACE Little Rock District Team will share the latest federal contracting updates, but our primary goal is to learn how we can better support your business in our district's acquisitions.

What to Expect:
Open Discussion: A casual environment to ask questions, suggest acquisition improvements, and discuss federal contracting topics.
Come & Go: You do not need to stay the whole time. Drop in whenever your schedule allows between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM CST.
Follow-up: The USACE Little Rock District Contracting team will share industry feedback with district leadership and post answers/findings to the Office of Small Business website.

What NOT to Expect (Important Boundaries):
No One-on-Ones: Private meetings or 1-on-1 capability briefings will NOT be offered.

📋 Focus Topics
While the floor is open to your questions, the Contracting team will also share updates on the following key topics: 
Other Transaction Authority (OTA): Highlights from the new USACE Playbook (Dated 12 June 2026). 
Market Intelligence: Current and future projects procured via OTAs.
