Request for Information (RFI).pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) form template for use by the U.S. Coast Guard Base Cleveland to submit inquiries to the Contracting Officer regarding federal contract opportunities.

The form is designed to facilitate clarifications or proposed changes to solicitations. The requestor section captures the submitter's identity, date, and contact information (FAX and telephone number), along with the solicitation number and project location. The information requested must include specification sections and/or drawing numbers and page references if the inquiry concerns a discrepancy. Requestors must specify the date a response is required. The technical expert response section includes fields for the response prepared by, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and On-Site Inspector identification. The form includes two checkbox options to classify the response: either as a clarification that does not change solicitation terms and conditions, or as a proposed change that will result in an amendment being issued. The Contracting Officer must sign the form to authorize the response. The form indicates that previous versions remain usable and was last revised in March 2025.
