REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) form template used by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Base Cleveland for solicitation clarifications and inquiries. The form is designed to be submitted via email to SK1 Jonathan Barrett, the Contracting Specialist at USCG Base Cleveland, at Jonathan.C.Barrett@uscg.mil.

The form contains two primary sections: a Requestor Section and a Contracting Office Response section. The Requestor Section captures the submitter's information, the solicitation number, project location, and detailed description of the information being requested, including specific reference to specification sections or drawing numbers if applicable. Requestors must also provide their contact information (FAX number and telephone number) and specify the required response date. The Contracting Office Response section allows the contracting office to document the response, identify who prepared it, and include relevant personnel such as the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and On-Site Inspector. The response section includes two checkboxes to indicate whether the information provided is a clarification of the solicitation with no changes to terms and conditions, or a proposed change requiring a formal solicitation amendment. This template, revised as of July 2024, is used to facilitate communication between potential contractors and the government regarding solicitation requirements and discrepancies.
