Often times a bidders conference will be scheduled soon after the proposal is released. How soon after the release date the bidder’s conference will take place all depends on the duration of the submission period. Contracts with very short turn around time will often schedule the conference within the first days of its release.

For bids that are open for a month or more, the bidder’s conference usually takes place within a week or two of the issued date.
