1. In CDRL A014, should Microsoft Project 2003 be replaced with Microsoft Office 2003?

Answer: The Project Plans may be submitted in Contractor format, approved by the Government, per Section C.10. The Project Plans should be developed and submitted using Microsoft Office.

The schedule developed for the Project Plan must be developed and maintained in Microsoft Project, per Section C.3.8.2, and should be submitted as a Microsoft Project file.

CDRL A014 will be revised to distinguish between the Project Plan proper and the schedule component of the Plan, with regard to deliverable format or file type.

2. The Amendment (0003) posted on May 8th seems to contradict itself. Although the box for extension is checked, the description in section 14 says that it is not. Can you elaborate on which is correct? Will TSA be issuing an extension of a few days?

Answer: There is no extension. The box for extension was inadvertently checked.

3. The RFP states that personnel proposed to support specification development and the Program Manager are Key Personnel

1) Are these roles the minimum for which TSA expects resumes?

2) Can the vendor suggest other key personnel?

3) Can additional resumes of non-key personnel be provided?

Answer: Yes to all three questions.
