“The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) would like to invite organizations to
Industry Collider Day 2022 (ICD). This year’s ICD will bring together experts
from government, industry, and academia to discuss Renewing and Reshaping
Our Growing Supply Chain Solutions. Our goal is to explore new and innovative
solutions that optimizes and safeguards our supply chains in alignment with our
national defense initiatives and priorities.

Our dynamic Industry Day agenda will invite our diverse attendees to engage on
potential opportunities for collaboration with our R&D Manufacturing Technology
and Logistics Research Program Managers. In addition, we encourage sharing your
subject matter expertise and thought leadership on topics presented by panelists,
program managers, and speakers during various sessions.

At the conclusion of the Collider Day activities, we plan to once again award
R&D funding to exceptional small businesses based on specific requirements
for strategic materials and green initiatives (see below). DLA provides more than
$42 billion in goods and services annually through its supply chains and materials
management. The agency is excited to create amazing opportunities for partnering
businesses and companies with leading-edge technologies to support
the Warfighter.

DLA R&D encourages participation through the Broad Agency Announcements
(BAA’s) proposal process for leading-edge technologies in the narratives listed
below. ICD is an opportunity to meet, connect, and collaborate with DLA program
managers while selected Collider attendees have the potential to receive
on-the-spot contracts or other funding.”
