2. Welcome to the MICC
MISSION: The MICC provides Army commands, installations, and activities with disciplined and responsive contracting solutions and oversight. On order, provides trained and deployable Contracting Support Brigades to the Operating Force.
“On behalf of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command Commanding General, Brigadier General Jeffrey A. Gabbert and the more than 1200 soldiers and civilians comprising the MICC Family, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the MICC-Fort XXXX Open House. We are committed to building a ready, transparent, and accountable organization that is built on trust and respect, and this open house is a big part of that commitment.
The MICC stands committed to ensuring the promotion of early exchanges of information about future acquisitions. An early exchange of information among industry and the program manager, contracting officer, and other participants in the acquisition process can identify and resolve concerns regarding the proposed acquisition and remedy any other industry concerns or questions. We want to talk with you and hear from you, and we want to ensure that you hear from us, as early as possible in the acquisition life-cycle. That exchange is what this Open House is all about.”
VISION: We do the right thing every day and are known as the Army’s premier contracting organization.

12. What is Reverse Auctioning
Typical Auction: Seller offers an item and buyers are free to bid on the item until the time period expires
Reverse Auction: Buyer offers a proposed contract action and sellers are then able to offer bids on the contract
As the auction progresses, the price decreases as sellers compete to offer lower bids than their competitors while still meeting all of the specifications
Advocates suggest reverse auctions produce rapid downward price pressure
