Dear All,

Happy Friday!

I wanted to take a moment to provide you with an update on the progress of the BlasterCard project.

I am pleased to report that the status of the project is currently trending positively as indicated by the color GREEN.

This week, I had the opportunity of meeting with the Project Sponsors, namely Andrew Moore, Braelin Pantel, and Noelle Sanchez, for a final review and approval of the Request for Information (RFI) ahead of its scheduled release on Friday, May 17th, 2024.

Following the release, vendors will have the opportunity to review our RFI and submit their written responses by Monday, June 17th, 2024. Upon receipt of these responses, I will be collaborating with the RFI team to meticulously assess the documentation and determine whether any vendors warrant further consideration, including the possibility of providing a demonstration to the team.

Additionally, I am in the process of compiling a comprehensive documentation outlining roles and responsibilities, as well as establishing a schedule for the core RFI team members.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding the aforementioned updates, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,


Ivan A. Cornejo
