Request for Information (RFI) (1).pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) form template used by U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland to obtain clarifications or propose changes to solicitations. The form is designed for submission to the Contracting Specialist or Contracting Officer and provides a structured format for documenting inquiries related to federal contract opportunities.

The form is divided into two main sections: a requester section and a technical expert response section. The requester section captures basic information including the solicitation number, project location, detailed description of information requested (with instructions to reference specification sections and drawing numbers when inquiring about discrepancies), attachments, required response date, and the requestor's contact information (name, title, FAX number, and telephone number). The technical expert response section allows the Contracting Officer or designated responder to provide answers, with fields for the response preparer's name, Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and on-site inspector identification. The form includes checkboxes to indicate whether the response is a solicitation clarification that does not change terms and conditions, or a proposed change requiring an amendment. Previous versions of this form are useable, and the current revision is dated March 2025.
