Request for Information.pdf

This is a template form for submitting Requests for Information (RFI) to the U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland contracting office. The form is designed to facilitate clarification inquiries regarding federal contract solicitations and is revised as of March 2025.

The form contains two primary sections: a requestor section and a technical expert response section. The requestor section requires submission of the solicitation number, project location, detailed information being requested (including relevant specification sections and drawing numbers), attachments if applicable, required response date, requestor contact information (name, title, FAX number, and telephone number), and submission details. The technical expert response section includes fields for the response date, response content, name of the person preparing the response, Contracting Officer Representative (COR) designation, and on-site inspector identification. The form includes two checkbox options to classify the response: either as a clarification that does not modify solicitation terms and conditions, or as a proposed change requiring issuance of a formal amendment. The Contracting Officer must sign the form to authorize the response. This template is intended for use by prospective contractors or stakeholders seeking clarification on solicitation requirements prior to proposal submission.
