Request for Information (RFI).pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) form template used by the U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland to facilitate communication between contractors and the contracting office regarding solicitation clarifications or changes.

The form is designed for submission to the Contracting Specialist or Contracting Officer and contains two primary sections: a requestor section and a technical expert response section. The requestor section captures identifying information including the solicitation number, project location, detailed description of information being requested (with specific instruction to reference specification sections and drawing numbers when inquiring about discrepancies), attachments, required response date, and requestor contact information (name, title, FAX number, and telephone number). The technical expert response section includes fields for the responding official's identification, the date of response, and the substantive response content. The form concludes with designation checkboxes indicating whether the response constitutes a clarification that does not modify solicitation terms and conditions, or a proposed change requiring issuance of an amendment. The form requires signature approval by the Contracting Officer and notes that previous versions remain acceptable for use. This is a standard administrative template rather than a specific solicitation document.
