Attachment III - Contractor RFI FORM.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) template and submission form for a federal contract opportunity managed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS).

The project pertains to the purchase of a manure spreader for the USDA-ARS-MWA Ruminant Diseases and Immunology facility located at 1920 Dayton Ave, Ames, IA 50010 (Project Number 1232SA26Q0242). The RFI serves as a mechanism for potential contractors to submit questions and requests for clarification regarding the solicitation, specifications, drawings, and other project documents. All inquiries must specifically reference the relevant specification sections, solicitation sections, or drawing numbers; failure to include these references may prevent timely government responses. Questions should be submitted via email to theodore.blume@usda.gov with the subject line formatted as "[1232SA26Q0242 Manure Spreader Ames IA – RFI#__]". The Contracting Officer will issue replies via Solicitation Amendment, and offerors are responsible for retrieving and acknowledging all amendments. Respondents must provide their name, city/state, phone number, and email address when submitting inquiries. The document includes a blank section for COR (Contracting Officer's Representative) comments and appears to be Attachment V of a larger solicitation package.
