Compliance Matrix

The matrix is a table.

Requirement ID is a row heading. You would have one row for each specific requirement. Insert the requirement "ID," which is probably a statement of work or specification paragraph number.)

The other items are column headings.

In each row/column cell, insert the information requested.

In the cell formed by Requirement ID and Requirement Description, insert a brief description of the requirement (or whatever info they instruct you to insert).

In the cell formed with Offeror Complies, insert Yes or No, depending upon your proposal response to the requirement.

In the cell formed with Exceptions, if you inserted No under Offeror Complies, state your exception (reason for noncompliance).

In the cell formed by RFQ Reference, insert the location (volume and/or page) in the RFQ where the requirement is stated.

In the cell formed with Offeror Proposal Reference, state where (volume and/or page) where you discuss your response to the requirement.

Vern,

Thank you for this. I figured it had to do with the SOW. So they want me to take every SOW reference and tell them if I comply? If not, I would then have to state why I don't comply, tell them where it is in the RFQ and then trace it back to the proposal. That makes sense, except it would be easier if they made it a "Non-Compliance Matrix," this way I wouldn't have to list every SOW reference. Only those I don't comply with, which more often than not, are none.

Very respectfully,

Joe Mimoso

Joe,

It's more than non-compliance. They want your matrix to show what specific part of your proposal links to each part of the SOW - in other words, where in your proposal do you demonstrate compliance with each SOW requirement?

Vern,

Got it.

Thanks again!
