This file is a Request for Information (RFI) template and form for a federal contract opportunity. The RFI is for Project Number 1232SA26Q1222, titled "Steam Sterilizer/Autoclave," located at USDA-ARS-PA Northern Plains Agricultural Research Center, 1500 North Hardin Ave, Sidney, MT 59270. The contracting officer is Theodore Blume, and inquiries should be directed to theodore.blume@usda.gov with the subject line format "[1232SA26Q1222 Steam Sterilizer/Autoclave Sidney MT] – RFI# __."

The form requires potential contractors to submit questions and requests for clarification with specific references to the applicable specification sections, solicitation sections, or drawing numbers. The Government emphasizes that failure to provide these specific references may prevent timely responses. Responses to submitted inquiries will be issued via Solicitation Amendment by the Contracting Officer, and offerors are responsible for retrieving and acknowledging all amendments. The form includes designated fields for the RFI number, date, specification/drawing references, information needed, submitter contact information (name, city/state, phone, email), and attachments. This is a template document used to facilitate the RFI submission process rather than a specific solicitation with defined requirements or deliverables.
