Suitability for addressing Information Technology (IT) hardware and software, construction, and any other potential capital asset investment is to be addressed. Graphical representations and all reporting capabilities are to be explicitly detailed. It would be useful to address processes, products and services in relation to the Federal CIO Council (http://www.cio.gov/best practices/) best practices Value Measuring Methodology (VMM). Vendors should specify approximate timeframes for installation, customization, implementation and utilization of various phases or functions associated with the EVMS solution, and identify the resources required for achieving them. Product licensing requirements and options with their approximate associated costs should be described.

Vendors are also requested to submit capability statements that should include the following: 1) company's experience in using the recommended EVMS solution to fulfill the requirements specified in the Statement of Objectives; 2) company's experience with building customer confidence, especially among Federal agencies from using proposed EVMS solution; 3) lessons learned from implementing the proposed solution; 4) specific training efforts associated with implementing the proposed solution; and 5) performance measures used by the company to evaluate progress.
