Within the Department of Defense (DOD) there are 100’s of Program Offices located throughout the United States. Each Program Office focuses on specific products that our American Soldiers depend on every day. The Program Office is the centralized location for all activities related to development, test, evaluation, acquisition, production of a specific product or system the DOD uses.
When you are searching for government solicitations or contract awards from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) or any other contracting office, the Program Office is one of the reasons you are seeing that request.
For example if your company manufactures items like springs, pins, nuts, bolts, brackets, tripods, scopes, binoculars, cloth bags, straps etc., your items might be used on some type of gun or rifle. The knowledge of where your item is used is invaluable. Knowing what agencies, departments or Program Offices deal with those types of items can potentially lead your company to more government business opportunities.
One way to find potential Program Offices that your company might eventually deal with, possibly offering them a “better solution” to the items they currently use is to look at past government contract awards, to find contracting offices buying those items.
The Project Manager or Program Office works along with various contracting agencies to get what they need. Those contracting offices post Solicitations, Request for Information (RFI), and Request for Proposals (RFP).
