From FBO:
The purpose of Industry Day is to exchange preliminary information with industry and to answer questions posed by industry. A summary of the scope for each Vanguard 2.3 task order is attached to this notice, to enhance industry’s understanding of the requirement and to allow interested vendors to email questions to the Government in advance of Industry Day. Questions will be addressed during Industry Day, however, the Government may not respond to all specific questions or comments submitted in response to this announcement or information provided as a result of this announcement. The deadline for emailed questions is October 4, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. Send all questions via email to hainessg@state.gov. The Government anticipates entertaining additional questions during Industry Day that were not submitted in advance, if time permits.

Accordingly, questions submitted in advance will be given priority during the Question and Answer period at Industry Day. The Government may not respond to all specific questions or comments submitted during the Industry Day Question and Answer period.
