Indicate which individuals are contemplated to be involved and provide a brief description of the background and qualifications of those individuals.
Clearly specify which requirements set out below and which preferences set out below the vendor can offer.
Include the total cost to meet the HRPA’s current requirements applicable to test delivery or psychometric services, or both, as applicable (where the amount is variable, be as clear as possible as to the estimated total cost based on current information provided).

Describe anticipated contingencies, the approach to addressing them, and the cost to address them.
Specify all discounts included in the cost.
