Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Garrison Directorate of Public Works (DPW) and the 414th Regional Contracting Office (RCO) are hosting a Construction Industry Day on May 5, 2026, from 09:00 – 12:30 CET, at Hotel Viest in Vicenza, Italy. This event offers contractors a unique opportunity to engage directly with Government personnel, gain insight into upcoming construction contracts, and receive technical and contracting information. The focus will be on facility sustainment, renovation, repair, and minor new construction projects. RSVP is highly encouraged by April 28, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This Industry Day aims to share details of upcoming construction projects and procurement opportunities, provide a forum for questions to DPW technical staff and RCO contracting personnel, offer insight into government contracting procedures, and foster networking. It is designed to help industry partners understand how to effectively compete for future contracts supporting military facilities. The event will be dual-language (English and Italian) and is primarily relevant for firms focusing on facility sustainment, renovation, repair, and minor new construction, rather than large-scale MILCON programs.
Event Format
The day begins with a formal Welcome and Introduction briefing by the DPW and RCO teams, providing an overview of project types, scope, and key personnel roles (e.g., Quality Control Manager, Site Safety and Health Officer). Following this, an open-house format will feature:
- Open House Technical Stations: DPW technical staff will host stations for one-on-one engagement on various construction disciplines (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil Engineering).
- Optional Briefing Sessions: RCO will conduct informal breakout sessions on key contracting topics, including "How to Register and Navigate SAM.gov," "Understanding the Post-Award Process," and "Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) Invoice Submissions."

Companies are highly encouraged to send personnel directly involved in project execution, such as Project Managers, Site Safety and Health Officers, and Quality Control Managers. Interested contractors can submit specific questions in advance by the RSVP deadline of April 28, 2026, via email to the contacts listed below.
