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 inquiries regarding federal contract solicitations. The form is designed for submission to the Contracting Specialist or Contracting Officer and serves as a standardized mechanism for requesting clarifications or proposing changes to solicitation documents.

The form captures essential submission details including the solicitation number, project location, and a dedicated section for describing the information requested, with instructions to reference relevant specification sections or drawing numbers when inquiring about discrepancies. The requestor must provide contact information via FAX and telephone, along with a required response date. The response section includes fields for the preparing party, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and on-site inspector identification. The form includes two disposition options: marking whether the response constitutes a clarification that does not alter solicitation terms and conditions, or a proposed change requiring issuance of an amendment. This is a template document, not a specific solicitation, and previous versions remain acceptable for use. The form was last revised in March 2025.
