Q. Will travel be required to conduct interviews? A. It depends on the project proposal. Remote testing sessions could be acceptable if the contractor can demonstrate experience and competence in this method. Q. Is the usability tool to be created by the contractor an automated tool or just a moderator?s guide for the web usage? A. The usability tool is the moderator's guide combined with the method proposed to conduct the actual testing. This could be automated or non-automated. Q.

Is the deliverable testing script the same as the moderator?s guide? A. Yes. Q. Is the activity in section 2)B. going to be done by the FDA representative or is this activity done by the contractor? It currently reads like these are FDA driven activities and if so they that would impact contractor deliverables. A. Yes, the section IIB states "The FDA, in the person of the project officer or her designee, will perform the following tasks:" These tasks will be completed by the FDA representatives who will be responsible for interacting with the contractor to accomplish the terms of the contract. Each of these tasks will influence the contractor's deliverables. Q. In section II.A.1.f there is mention of two rounds of usability testing with 8 ? 9 users in each round. In section IV and V.D there is mention of a written report (singular). Is the intent that the two rounds will take place concurrently, or at least around the same time, or will they be separated by substantial time? If separated, is there a need for a report after each round, or only one report after both rounds have been completed? A. The 2 rounds of usability testing can take place around the same time. We are proposing 2 different rounds rather than one larger round so that each can address a different subset of the audience or can contain more targeted questions Q. Under Submission of Responses, the RFQ says the 10 page limit for the proposal does not include sample materials and personnel resumes. What sort of ?sample materials? are requested? Should costing be included in the 10 page limit, or should costs be submitted in a separate document? A. We are not requesting/requiring any specific sample materials. However, if you would like to demonstrate your ability to conduct usability testing by submitting test scripts, reports, or company protocols, we would be happy to review them. Your technical proposal should not exceed 10 pages, and you may submit your cost proposal as a separate document. Q. Can you provide a ceiling price or ballpark price range that has been budgeted for this project? A. We are not able to provide that information, please submit a brief description on your pricing for the necessary personnel, materials, services in support of this project.
