Frequently Asked Question (FAQs) [Revised September 5, 2018]

1.) Is AFDO open to having a couple of vendors team together to provide the response and do the work?

Yes, but include the subcontractors experience and how you plan to utilize their services for this project.

2.) Are you looking to have the content updated to a higher level of interactivity?

Yes, a higher level of interactivity would be ideal. Any modifications would need to meet specific section 508 requirements.

3.) Please confirm that this is the latest copy of the FDA IFSS NCS regulatory framework: http://incs.ifpti.org/Frameworks/FoodProtectionProfessionals

Yes, that is the latest version.

4.) When you say, “conducts framework competency development work” are you asking if the vendor is working on the framework or working within the framework?

Both are preferred. Greater emphasis to those who have worked within the framework with competency development for prescribed course structure.

5.) May we have a link (or document) for the FDA OTED eLearning specification?

There isn’t a single document. The key here is showing flexibility. Here are the current requirements for formative assessments and a lexicon for the Gen Eds.

6.) For the Senior/Key Persons Profile, are you looking for a name followed by a brief bio? Or are you looking for a name together with a longer CV or biographical sketch?

We are only looking for a brief bio for each senior/key person involved in the project.
