Thus, USAID is not seeking technical or cost proposals/applications at this time. Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and USAID will not reimburse respondents for the preparation of information submitted in response to this RFI. Responses to this notice cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract or assistance award. Submissions in response to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the results of the review. Respondents may receive a confirmation of receipt of the response. This RFI does not restrict the Government&#8217;s approach on any future Solicitation or Notice of Funding Opportunity.
