Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 72011521RFA00007
USAID/Kyrgyz Republic issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Local Works in the Kyrgyz Republic" (reference number RFI-72011521RFA00007) on April 8, 2021, with responses due by April 29, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Bishkek time. This notice is not a grant solicitation or an application request; it is a market research step meant to gather practical input from potential local partners about their interest, capabilities, and relevant experience. USAID notes that any information submitted may be used to help plan and design a future activity, but the U.S. Government is not committing to issue a formal solicitation or make an award, and it will not reimburse any costs incurred in preparing an RFI response.
Eligibility for this RFI is restricted exclusively to local Kyrgyz partners. USAID defines "local" in a specific legal and governance sense: the organization must be registered or legally organized under Kyrgyz Republic law, have its principal place of operations in the Kyrgyz Republic, be majority owned by Kyrgyz citizens or lawful permanent residents, and be managed by a governing body whose majority are Kyrgyz citizens or lawful permanent residents. In other words, the RFI is designed to reach domestically rooted institutions rather than international organizations operating in-country.
While the title "Local Works" signals an emphasis on locally led development and community-driven approaches, the posted opportunity metadata also categorizes the activity under the Health sector (Funding Activity Category: Health; CFDA/Assistance Listing number 98.001). The listing indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $150,000, but because this is an RFI and not a formal funding opportunity, those figures should be read as planning parameters rather than guaranteed funding.
Organizations interested in responding were instructed to submit their information electronically to AlmatyAASolicitations@usaid.gov, with copies to Aliya Baioralova (abaioralova@usaid.gov), an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, and Leona Sasinkova (lsasinkova@usaid.gov), the Supervisory Regional Contracting Officer. Submissions needed to use the email subject/title "RFI72011521RFA00007 for USAID/Kyrgyz Republic Local Works in the Kyrgyz Republic" so USAID could properly track and review responses. Overall, the purpose of the notice is to map the landscape of capable local Kyrgyz organizations and gather insights that could shape a later, competitive procurement or assistance process, if USAID decides to proceed.Apply for RFI 72011521RFA00007
