[https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/4014 The USDoT 911 Initiative Transition Plan Document]<ref name=":3">[https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/4014 The USDoT 911Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) System Initiative Transition Plan Document] – This Procurement Tool Kit seeks to help improve communications among the various individuals, groups, and companies interested in NG9-1-1. The Procurement Tool Kit has four parts, and while mostly independent of one another, each is designed to support an iterative process, building on the previous part. The document offers tools to assist with assessment, planning, procurement, and evaluation of success. Briefly, the document includes the following sections:
Preliminary Assessment Tool - A survey to help identify the current state of emergency communications readiness for NG9-1-1. Within the various topic areas (e.g., planning, governance, standards and technology), identify what work has been completed or is in process that pertains to NG9‑1‑1 features or issues.
NG9-1-1 Planning Tool - Planning for implementation of NG9-1-1 is a critical task, considering the multiple aspects associated with developing a comprehensive plan. The planning tool describes the recommended plan components and process steps, offers suggestions, and includes links to additional references and resources.

== PSAP Inventory ==
 
If there is no central repository for information regarding the equipment and software inventories within the PSAP, one must be assembled. Going beyond just the [[Call Handling]] application, this inventory should be as granular as reasonably possible, and may include items used in the PSAP operational environment such as types of Computer Aided Dispatch ([[CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch)|CAD]]), other public safety applications, mobile data applications, control of radio consoles and related administrative communications, used in the PSAP operational environment. These documents must be kept open for updates on a regular basis. This activity supports overall planning, and includes identifying opportunities to share resources, and assists in ensuring interoperability.
