The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Europe District invites industry partners to participate in a Reverse Industry Day focused on emerging acquisition strategies and project delivery methods. This event is intended to foster open dialogue between industry and USACE regarding innovative approaches to design and construction procurement. BACKGROUND Industry 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. NAU is committed to delivering vital public and military engineering services in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment. Our traditional design-bid-build and even design-build project delivery models, while historically successful, face growing pressure from accelerated timelines, constrained budgets, and the need for greater innovation. NAU is requesting initial comments and/or written products to effectively facilitate dialogue prior to the event. EVENT OBJECTIVE This Reverse Industry Day is designed to provide industry with a platform to: • Share real-world experiences and lessons learned using emerging acquisition methods. • Discuss successful implementation strategies, challenges, and risk mitigation approaches. • Provide recommendations on solicitation structure, evaluation criteria, partnering practices, and contract administration considerations. • Offer feedback that may inform future NAU acquisition planning and solicitation development. TOPICS OF INTEREST Discussion topics may include, but are not limited to: • Other Transaction Authorities (OTA) • Progressive Design-Build (PDB) • Design-Build to Budget (DB2B) • Integrated Design and Construction (IDAC) • Early contractor involvement • Collaborative project development • Innovation and risk-sharing approaches • Best practices for owner-contractor collaboration EVENT INFORMATION Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2026 Time: 08:00 (Check-in) – 17:00 Location: Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center Hugo-Eckener-Ring 15/Terminal 1, 60549 Frankfurt-...
