Comparing and contrasting those blueprints allows DHS OCHCO to identify gaps in HR capabilities and prioritize Strategic Improvement Opportunities (SIOs) to close those gaps for the DHS enterprise. As a result, OCHCO is seeking market research information to develop an acquisition strategy to acquire services for several of its strategic initiatives as described in the attachments (OCHCO HRIT SIO - Request for Information_Industry Day Notice_Final and Attachments I-X). The intended outcome of this RFI/Draft SOW release, planned Industry Day, and future one-on-one engagements is thorough input from industry, offered in an open manner, to aid in DHS' development of sound programmatic requirements as well as preparation of its requirements package. As outlined in the attached Request for Information (RFI) / Industry Day Notice, DHS will host an Industry Day for interested industry partners on Friday, August 23, 2019 from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
