2) For Section G-2, A. d. Qualification of Project Team, in addition to Form 330 for the personnel, does the agency require the full Form 330, including all SF330 fields A through G, or just the resume section related to the project team?

Answer: This is just for the resume section. If preferred a standard consultant formatted resume may be submitted providing the same information as the Form 330 and any additional required information in the RFP as outlined.
