4. Can we submit the proposals via email?

Yes, the current incumbent is Remote Learner. We don't see any specific challenges at this time.

6. Our PM for this effort does not have a PMP certification but has a DAWIA level 3 certification with 10 years as PM. Will this suffice?

All key personnel skills are desired vice mandatory, and there is no minimum requirement that necessarily needs to be met. It shall be noted however that proposals will be evaluated accordingly based on the relative strength of the individual proposed.

7. On page 9 of RFP PC-17-Q-0030, it states that contractors shall submit FedRAMP certification or ATO certification documentation no later than three months prior to the scheduled LMS deployment date. Would you consider extending that time frame?

The timeline included in the RFQ is such that it allows processing time for FedRAMP certification or ATO certification to be obtained prior to the LMS deployment date, and as such the Government does not anticipate extending this timeframe at this time.
