Request for Information (RFI).pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) form template used by U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland to solicit clarifications or gather information regarding federal contract solicitations.

The form is designed for submission to the Contracting Specialist/Contracting Officer and contains two main sections: the requestor section and the technical expert response section. The requestor section captures essential details including the solicitation number, project location, specific information being requested (with instructions to reference specification sections and drawing numbers for discrepancies), attachments, date response is required, requestor's contact information (name, title, FAX number, and telephone number), and identifying information. The technical expert response section includes fields for the response date, prepared-by information, Contracting Officer Representative (COR) identification, on-site inspector designation, and a response narrative area. The form includes two checkboxes to indicate whether the response constitutes a clarification that does not change solicitation terms or conditions, or a proposed change requiring an amendment. The form notes that previous versions remain useable and was last revised in March 2025.
