This event is part of a procurement process initiated by the Department of the Air Force’s 48th Fighter Wing (USAFE), and it aims to provide insights into new supply chain opportunities primarily focused on RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall. The engagement will close for registration on 31st May 2018 and caters to a diverse range of industries relevant to the US government's needs, which include grounds maintenance, waste management, and pest control.
