3.13  Attachment 1: Cross Reference Matrix

The purpose of the cross reference matrix is to show critical interrelationships and dependencies among the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Performance Work Statement (PWS), Statement of Objectives (SOO), Systems Requirements Document (SRD), Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) and Information to Offerors (ITO). The matrix ensures that all requirements are addressed, requirements do not conflict and solicitation sections are internally consistent.  The Government team must fill in appropriate paragraph references for Government documents such as the SRD, SOO, PWS/SOW (if used), CDRLs, CLINs, contract clauses etc.  The offerors then complete the matrix by filling in their proposal references.
