Strategic Portfolio Management RFI
**Amendment #2: The Food and Drug Administration has decided extend the closing date for this RFI to Monday, June 16, 2014 at 9am ET.
The total page limit for this RFI is 30 pages. However, this is the maximum number of pages you are allowed to submit, and if you can complete your response within 5, 10, or 15 pages, you will not be faulted for this.
As for your response to the requested pricing, this should be based on the tasks included in the SOW. It is not mandatory that you submit pricing, but it will help the FDA to better prepare for this upcoming requirement. Also, it is preferred, but not mandatory, that you submit your pricing response on a separate excel spreadsheet. The pricing sheet is not included in the total number of pages.
Finally, as mentioned in the original RFI posting, you will still be able to respond to the RFP, even if you do not respond to the RFI. The FDA is using the RFI to determine our acquisition strategy, and to help better define our requirements documents. **
