Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:

2. Will it suffice for each of the new partners/collaborators to submit a subsequent response to an RFP, clearly defining the relationship with selected lead collaborator?
   
   

3. Have you recently been involved in a proposal or RFP response that went wrong, took too long, or received negative feedback from the client or prospect?
   
   

4. What will your team need from staff to ensure the communications work is successful, particularly in terms of collaboration, planning, and information?

6. What other required contracts and or agreements other than the Constable System Replacement Analysis are expected to be included with an RFP response?
   
   

7. Is it the contractors responsibility to develop and determine the appropriate action, or will appropriate guidelines be provided by your organization?
   
   

8. What opportunities are there for an interested subcontractor to connect with Prime contractors who have expressed an interest in responding to an RFP?
   
   

9. When everyone has access to the same data, and better integration with orchestration, or do you need every member to be local to your headquarters?
   
   

10. Will the vendor be released of any responsibility or liability if the customer performs work in conjunction with the work required by an RFP?
