| 1 | Is there an incumbent? | N/A | This is a new requirement. There is no incumbent. |
| 2 | Will the Government consider extending due dates? | N/A | The Government will not respond to requests to extend due dates unless there is a reasonable request that includes the circumstances surrounding the request. |

| 4 | Is there a particular assessment which the VA prefers? | A comparative offering is the Hogan Personality Inventory, Hogan Development Survey, and the Hogan Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory | |
| 5 | Is there a particular assessment which the VA will not consider? | minimally, the assessment must meet all criteria included in the solicitation | |
| 6 | To clarify (page 13): if we have CPARS a PPQ is not required; is this correct? | Page 13 | Correct |
| 7 | The deployment of assessments can be done via the assessment portal. What is the reason behind an additional step in sending the assessment codes/link to HLTI for assignment? | VA is collecting additional participant data and tracking who participates in the assessment. | |
| 8 | How many members of HLTI will need to be certified to administer/coach the assessment each year? | One certification per contract period. | |
| 9 | --> What on-going support will they need throughout the year? | Administrative data access | |
| 10 | --> Is there a desired timeline (number of days) in which the HLTI members will spend obtaining their certification? | Less than one week (five business days). | |
| 11 | --> Is the requirement for certification to "coach" the assessment results or an in-depth certification on the assessment? | Intent is for HLTI members to coach the results.
