THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY.

It is not a solicitation and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.

S.

Government or USAID to issue any solicitation or ultimately award a contract or assistance agreement on the basis of this RFI.

The RFI is an attempt

credit:

to reach out to the market in an effort to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest and will be treated as information only.

Responses to this notice are not applications and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding agreement.

Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and USAID will not pay respondents for the information provided in response to this RFI.

Responses to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the result of the review.

If a Solicitation is issued, it will be announced publicly at a later date and all interested parties must respond to that Solicitation announcement separately from any response to this announcement.

This RFI does not restrict the Government’s approach on a future solicitation.

USAID/KEA is in the process of designing these activities.

No decision has been made regarding the type of instrument that will be used (e.g.

acquisition or assistance).

For this reason, this RFI will be posted on both Grants.gov and beta.SAM.gov.
