Task 5.3 Support TDP Supplier Service Plans by Providing Training and Consultations on how to Maximize Sales to State and Federal Agencies and (Under Task 5.4) to Architects Because several grantees expressed an interest in marketing to architects and/or to state and federal agencies, and because funding was available under the Grants contract, CalRecycle directed SAIC to solicit interest in receiving direct consultations on these topics separate from the grant assistance activities described under Task 4 above. Task 5.3 was added to provide individual consultations related to marketing to state and federal agencies, and Task 5.4 was added to provide similar services focused on architects.
