About this opportunity
The University of Georgia, located in Clarke County, Georgia, is issuing an electronic Request for Information (eRFI) to identify qualified Research Project Management Consultants with expertise in supporting federal mission-based agencies focused on national defense and security initiatives. This non-competitive information-gathering solicitation seeks vendors experienced in working with faculty researchers in these specialized fields and capable of assisting in the development of grant-based applications for federal research funding. The primary objective is for the State Entity to evaluate available resources and methodologies to support key faculty members conducting research aligned with federal priorities in defense and security. Interested suppliers are encouraged to respond by the April 6, 2023 deadline, though responses are not mandatory and failure to submit an eRFI response will not impact eligibility for any subsequent competitive solicitations. The eRFI process is designed solely to inform the University of Georgia's future procurement decisions and does not constitute a competitive bidding requirement. Respondents should demonstrate relevant experience with federal research agencies, grant writing capabilities, and project management expertise in defense and security-related research environments.
The eRFI does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or preference categories for responding organizations at this stage of the procurement process. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in this information-gathering phase. As this is a preliminary eRFI rather than a formal competitive solicitation, no specific award value, budget range, or contract amount is disclosed. The University of Georgia may utilize the information gathered to develop a future competitive solicitation, which would establish formal evaluation criteria, pricing requirements, and contract terms. Interested vendors are advised that participation in this eRFI represents an opportunity to establish visibility with the procuring entity and position themselves for potential future competitive opportunities without any obligation or guarantee of contract award.
Opportunity text
Purpose of the eRFI This electronic Request for Information (eRFI) is being issued to solicit information from interested suppliers with respect to Research Project Management Consultant for the University of Georgia (hereinafter, the State Entity) as further described in this eRFI. The State Entity will use the information generated by this eRFI in conjunction with other information available to the State Entity to determine the solution that it is in the best interests of the State Entity to fulfill this need. The purpose of this RFI is to receive responses from the vendor community from suppliers who have expertise and experience in working with federal mission-based agencies working on issues of national defense and/or security. The supplier community may be tasked in the future to work with key faculty members at the University of Georgia performing research in these fields, and will help develop grant-based applications for federal research dollars. Overview of the eRFI Process The objective of the eRFI is to gather information to assist the State Entity in its consideration of available resources/methods to fulfill the need/goal identified above. The eRFI method is not a competitive solicitation method and, as a result, does not satisfy the requirement for competitive bidding. The eRFI method is no more than an information gathering tool and such information gathered may or may not be used by the State Entity to develop a competitive solicitation. Suppliers are not required to respond to an eRFI and a supplier¿s failure to respond to an eRFI will not prohibit the supplier¿s participation in any competitive solicitation that may result from the eRFI. However, suppliers are strongly encouraged to respond to eRFIs as this is a great way to ensure the State Entity is aware of the suppliers¿ available goods and services.
