Appendix A Industry Comments Questions and Clarification Matrix.xlsx

This file is an industry comments and clarification matrix template designed to collect and manage vendor questions regarding a Draft Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement. The spreadsheet serves as an internal working document for the Contracting Officer and Contracting Specialist to receive vendor inquiries, develop recommended responses, and prepare clarifications for posting to all interested parties after management approval. The matrix instructs users to remove vendor identifying information before distributing responses through the Program Management Office review and approval process.

This appendix supports the RFI for FEMA's Supply Chain Management System (SCMS), which is market research for a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service solution to support disaster logistics operations including order and inventory management, warehouse and transportation operations, asset visibility, point-of-distribution support, supply-chain reporting, procurement and enterprise resource planning interfaces, and financial reconciliation. The anticipated scope includes transition and implementation services, configuration and integration, recurring SaaS licensing, operations and maintenance, help desk and technical support, cybersecurity and system authorization support, continuity of operations, training, reporting, and optional surge capacity. As this is a pre-solicitation RFI issued solely for market research and acquisition planning, no contract will be awarded from this document.
