You may receive an electronic confirmation acknowledging receipt of your response.  Responses will be kept confidential and will not be made publicly available or shared outside of USAID. However, USAID will apply information, recommendations and suggestions made in the submissions to refine potential statements of objectives associated with future procurements, if any, associated with this RFI. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Applications/Request for Proposals (RFA/RFP). Responses to this RFI shall not be construed as proposals and will not be accepted by the U.S. Government (USG) to form a binding agreement.  Responding or providing comments on this RFI will not give any advantage to any organization in any subsequent procurement. USAID will not provide answers to any question submitted in response to this request and will not host a pre-solicitation conference. USAID reserves the right to modify the scope and scale of the RFI.
