This event is intended to foster open dialogue between industry and USACE regarding innovative approaches to design and construction procurement. \n\n\n\n\nBACKGROUND \nIndustry partners have gained significant experience implementing progressive and collaborative delivery methods\, including Progressive Design-Build (PDB)\, Design-Build to Budget (DB2B)\, Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC)\, and Other Transaction Authorities (OTA). USACE is exploring opportunities to expand the use of these tools where appropriate and seeks direct feedback from industry to help shape future acquisition strategies and solicitation approaches. \nRather than conducting individual capability briefings\, USACE will convene industry representatives in a roundtable forum to share lessons learned\, discuss best practices\, and identify opportunities to improve project delivery outcomes. \nEVENT OBJECTIVE \nThis Reverse Industry Day is designed to provide industry with a platform to: \n• Share real-world experiences and lessons learned using emerging acquisition methods.\n• Discuss successful implementation strategies\, challenges\, and risk mitigation approaches.\n• Provide recommendations on solicitation structure\, evaluation criteria\, partnering practices\, and contract administration considerations.\n• Offer feedback that may inform future USACE acquisition planning and solicitation development. \nTOPICS OF INTEREST \nDiscussion topics may include\, but are not limited to: \n• Other Transaction Authorities (OTA)\n• Progressive Design-Build (PDB)\n• Design-Build to Budget (DB2B)\n• Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC)\n• Early contractor involvement\n• Collaborative project development\n• Cost and schedule certainty\n• Innovation and risk-sharing approaches\n• Best practices for owner-contractor collaboration \nEVENT INFORMATION \nDate:  Tuesday\, July 14\, 2026 \nTime:  1:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Pacific Time) \nLocation:\nHyatt Regency Sacramento\n1209 L Street\nSacramento\, CA 95814 \nFORMAT \nIndustry-to-USACE Roundtable Discussion \nPresenter Option:\nThe Government\, at its sole discretion\, may select up to five (5) industry partners to present a case study (see form link\, to be provided below).

SUMMARY:OTAs in Construction—What Changes\, Breaks\, and Works!
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 14\, 2026 \nTime: 11:30 am. (Eastern standard) \nDate: July 14\, 2026 \nTime: 11:30 am. (Eastern standard) \nOther Transaction Authorities (OTAs) are generating significant interest across the Department of Defense acquisition community\, particularly following recent changes affecting military construction and infrastructure programs. \nBut what do these new authorities actually mean for project teams\, contracting officers\, engineers\, construction managers\, and industry partners? \nJoin leaders from USACE\, NAVFAC\, AFCEC\, industry\, and workforce development organizations for a practical discussion on the evolving role of OTAs in construction acquisition. This webinar will separate fact from fiction\, explore how existing authorities and the new military construction OTA authority are being interpreted\, and discuss what is truly changing versus what remains the same. \nPanelists will address common misconceptions\, workforce concerns\, statutory compliance considerations\, implementation challenges\, and lessons learned from organizations actively exploring alternative acquisition approaches. \nTopics include: \n\nUnderstanding the construction OTA landscape\nWhat changed with recent NDAA authorities\nCommon misconceptions about OTAs and construction\nPractical implementation considerations for Government and industry\nSmall business participation and opportunities\nWorkforce concerns\, training\, and change management\nLessons learned and future outlook\n\nWhether you are new to OTAs or already evaluating their use within your organization\, this session will provide practical insights and perspectives you can apply immediately. \nRegister
