How to Create a Compliance Matrix
1. Carefully review the RFP or SGA highlighting items that should be included in the
proposal. These items will occur in various sections including introduction, program
description, proposal narrative, budgetary information, evaluation criteria, etc.
2. Create an expanded outline of the key proposal sections.
3. Use the exact headings and subheadings from the RFP.
4. Indicate the section of the RFP/SGA.
5. Indicate the number of points for this section (if applicable).
6. The following is an example:
PROPOSAL
SECTION NAME
1. STATEMENT

of the RFP/SGA
PROPOSAL EVALUATION FACTORS
SGA-page 35 and
page 55
Impact of Foreign Trade (4 points)
Describe the impact of foreign trade, including
identifying one or more TAA Certification
determinations (providing the TAA for Workers (TAW)
Number, company name, and decision date) in at least
one community to be served by the project, made on or
after October 1, 2008; provide a narrative that describes
the threat to, or the loss of, jobs associated with the
identified Certification(s).

7. Estimate the number of pages allocated to each section of the proposal.
8. This estimate can be obtained by dividing the number of points allocated to a section by
the total number of points and multiplying by the total number of pages.
