As relates to the reuse of IT Components, are only components as developed by prior Exchange Network grantees allowable or are IT Components that are internal to the applicant’s agency/organization applicable too?
If there are internal IT Components that your proposed project will incorporate/reuse, this should be detailed in the ‘Technical Understanding’ section of your project narrative, as described in Appendix E. If the (re)use of these internal technologies means that no additional items, as developed by current and prior grantees in the Exchange Network, are necessary/appropriate for the proposed project, this should be clearly stated in the ‘Commitment to Reuse’ section of the project narrative. Additionally, the use and appropriateness of these internal IT Components should be referenced in the applicant’s detailed justification for why no (EN) IT Components will be reused in the proposed project (as is a requirement in the ‘Commitment to Reuse’ section for applicants not reusing EN IT Components).
