Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049723RFI00002
USAID Indonesia issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "USAID Local Solutions to Health Priorities in Indonesia (LSHP)" (RFI Number 72049723RFI00002) on February 6, 2023, with responses due by February 24, 2023 at 1500 Jakarta time. This is a market research and planning notice released under FAR 52.215-3, meant to gather input and gauge interest from qualified organizations while USAID designs a future activity. It is not a funding solicitation, not an application request, and it does not commit the U.S. Government to issue a later opportunity or reimburse any costs associated with preparing an RFI response. USAID also notes that any information submitted may be used without restriction, so organizations should avoid sending proprietary content.
The purpose behind LSHP is closely tied to USAID's broader localization agenda, which emphasizes shifting leadership, decision-making, ownership, and implementation responsibility to local actors that have the credibility, networks, and contextual understanding to sustain health improvements in their own communities. USAID describes this as requiring changes not only for implementing partners, but also internally within USAID and in how partners interact with Indonesian institutions, including government entities. The overall program focus is Health and Global Health Security, signaling an interest in strengthening systems and capacities that prevent, detect, and respond to health threats in addition to broader health priorities.
If USAID decides to move forward with a formal funding opportunity, the agency anticipates making up to five awards to local partners over a five-year period, with an estimated total value of up to USD 25 million (roughly USD 5 million per award), dependent on funding availability. The prospective approach would use "modality one" under the NPI APS (New Partnerships Initiative Annual Program Statement), which is designed for direct awards to new and underutilized local organizations in the host country. USAID indicates the likely process would start with brief concept submissions, then move into co-creation with selected applicants, and only after that request full applications from finalists. In other words, the pipeline is expected to be staged and collaborative, rather than a single-step full proposal competition.
USAID signals flexibility in how local organizations structure their delivery model. While the intent is to fund local prime partners, USAID anticipates that applicants may form consortia with other local entities and may also include international partners if helpful. Local primes are also allowed to contract out support functions such as financial management, administration, or other specialized services if they lack certain internal capabilities. However, USAID is explicit that outsourcing does not shift accountability: the local prime remains responsible for decisions, performance, compliance, and accuracy. For example, if outsourced financial services lead to errors and disallowed costs, the prime would still bear responsibility.
In terms of what USAID especially wants to see reflected in any future concept papers, two cross-cutting themes are highlighted. First, USAID is looking for clear approaches to diversity and inclusion, including how an organization would address the needs of marginalized groups and how it would identify and potentially address gender-based violence (GBV). Second, USAID is interested in holistic, organization-wide capacity strengthening rather than capacity building that is narrowly limited to administering a single USAID project. This includes openness to cost-sharing for broader institutional capacity development needs, which implies USAID wants to understand what long-term strengthening looks like for local organizations beyond compliance for one award.
The RFI provides specific submission instructions and a structured format for responses. Interested parties were asked to submit by email to applications-indonesia@usaid.gov, copying ychristanti@usaid.gov, with the email subject line including "RFI No. 72049723RFI00002." Submissions had to be in English, in a Microsoft Word-compatible format, using 12-point font with consecutively numbered pages. USAID makes clear that respondents would only receive an acknowledgment of receipt, with no individualized feedback, no question-and-answer period during the RFI stage, and no notification of review results. If USAID later issues a solicitation, it would be posted on Grants.gov.
USAID also details the "sources sought" information it wants to collect to understand the market and local capacity. Respondents were asked to provide four components, each limited to one page: (1) basic organization information (name, point of contact, address, registration status in Indonesia, and UEI number if available), (2) a capability statement explaining the organization’s ability to execute proposed activities tied to at least one objective in the draft activity description and identifying any capacity gaps, including noting which activities the organization cannot implement, (3) up to five examples of past or current projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to the results areas the organization proposes to implement, and (4) feedback on the proposed activities and likely application instructions if USAID proceeds with a future funding notice. Overall, the RFI is designed to help USAID refine the LSHP activity design, understand what Indonesian organizations can realistically lead as primes, and shape a future localized award process that blends concept notes, co-creation, and fuller applications for a small number of awards.Apply for 72049723RFI00002
