The government clarified that references from state and local education agency staff are acceptable for past performance evaluation. Key submission requirements include: Attachments 1-8 must be submitted as separate files, staff resumes should be included in Volume 2 and count toward the 15-page limit, past performance documentation belongs in Volume 3, and pricing information goes in Volume 4.
