Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Vietnam Request for Information (RFI) on the Healthy Markets Activity (Funding Opportunity Number SOL 486 13 00022) is not a live grant competition and should not be treated as one. It is an information-gathering notice issued to help USAID shape and refine its approach for a potential future program described in an attached concept paper titled "USAID Healthy Markets Activity." In practical terms, USAID is asking organizations to share their interest, relevant experience, technical capabilities, and market information that could inform how the eventual activity might be designed. Any input submitted is for planning purposes only and may be used by USAID to develop a final concept and potential future solicitation.
The notice is explicit about what it does not do. It does not constitute a Request for Applications (RFA), it is not an application process, and responses cannot be used to form any binding agreement with the U.S. Government. USAID also makes clear that issuing the RFI is not a commitment to make an award, and it will not reimburse any expenses related to preparing or submitting responses. Another important limitation is that responding to the RFI will not provide any competitive advantage in a later procurement or assistance competition, and USAID will not answer questions submitted in response to this RFI. If USAID decides to move forward with funding, the actual opportunity would be announced later (for example, as an RFA or an Annual Program Statement) and posted on Grants.gov, and interested parties are responsible for monitoring that site for updates.
From the funding snapshot included in the posting, USAID indicates the anticipated instrument type as a cooperative agreement in the health sector, with one expected award. The estimated total funding is listed as $15,000,000, with both the award ceiling and floor shown as $15,000,000, suggesting the agency was contemplating a single award at that level if the activity proceeded. The listing also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning that if a future funding opportunity is released, applicants would likely need to contribute non-federal resources consistent with whatever terms the eventual solicitation specifies. The CFDA reference provided is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas).
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, subject to any additional eligibility details that might appear in the full text. The RFI was posted March 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 11, 2013, and an archive date of May 10, 2013. The agency information shown in the posting identifies USAID Bangkok (Thailand) as the issuing office for this notice related to Vietnam, and the listed point of contact for access issues is Kornpreeya Paoluglam, Acquisition Specialist, at +66 2 257 3000.
