Quick Summary

The Department of Defense is hosting the 2026 APG Advance Planning Briefing to Industry (APBI) from April 21–22, 2026, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. This special notice serves as a "Save the Date" for the event, which aims to provide industry stakeholders with insights into the organization's future contracting landscape, specifically forecasting opportunities for Fiscal Years 2028-2029. This is a briefing event, not a solicitation for bids.

Event Details

  • Purpose: To brief industry on upcoming contracting opportunities and Army capability requirements, fostering strategic planning and partnership.
  • Format: Hybrid event, offering both in-person attendance at Myer Auditorium (Building 6000) and virtual participation via MS Teams. Links for virtual attendance will be posted a few days prior to the event.
  • Registration: No-fee registration is required for in-person attendees, with the link to be posted in early April 2026. Virtual attendees do not require advance registration.
  • Location: Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.

  • ATEC: A wide range of services including GFEBS Support, Facility Sustainment, IT Support, Cybersecurity, Scientific and Engineering Support, Machining, Logistics, Security, Airfield Support, and Data Collection.
