NGTR Program Risk Feedback Matrix.pdf

This document is a risk assessment and vendor feedback template designed for federal program planning and solicitation development. The template provides a structured framework for evaluating program elements and risks across five key categories: Program Scope, Timeline, Technical Risk, Security/NSA, and Other Risks. Each category includes columns for documenting draft program elements or risk areas (with examples such as backwards compatibility with ARC-210 Gen 5/6, 12-month timeline to TS facility clearance, waveform support up to 6 GHz in small form factor, modular HAD certification timeline, and supply chain/DMSMS long-lead items), capturing vendor feedback and suggested changes, assessing impact on timeline and cost using a High/Medium/Low scale, and documenting recommended mitigation strategies. The template is designed to facilitate risk identification and management during the pre-solicitation phase, allowing program managers to systematically collect and evaluate contractor input on feasibility concerns before formal release of a Request for Proposal or related solicitation document.
