In response to the Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business community request to have business networking dialogue with a senior leader in the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Acquisition, Logistics, and Construction (OALC), the Department made available a series of quarterly events.

The 2nd Quarter FY 2023 event will be hosted by Dr. Zebulon Fox, Associate Executive Director for the Office of Facilities Acquisition (OFA) and Head of Contracting Activity within the Office of Construction and Facilities Management (CFM) for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

One representative per firm will be permitted to participate.

This event is comprised of thirteen (13) 20-minute 1-on-1 meetings during which Dr. Fox can answer OALC-related questions. In preparation for the sessions, Dr. Fox will accept no more than 3 questions from each firm which will be addressed during the one-on-one meeting. Participating firms must provide its questions in advance to maximize the value of time invested.
