Request for Information - market research before a formal solicitation.

Definition

RFI Request for Information - market research before a formal solicitation.

Definition

A Request for Information (RFI) is a market research tool the government uses to gather information before issuing a formal solicitation. RFIs are not solicitations - you cannot win a contract by responding. However, responses can influence requirements and set-aside decisions. Always respond to RFIs for opportunities you want.
