Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI DISABILITYPROGRAM 08072018
The U.S. Agency for International Development Mission to Vietnam (USAID/Vietnam) issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Request for Information (RFI) on Service Providers for the Proposed New Disability Support Project" (Funding Opportunity Number: RFI DISABILITYPROGRAM 08072018). This notice is not a grant award announcement by itself. Instead, it is an information-gathering step USAID is using to understand what Vietnamese organizations can do and what kinds of services they could realistically deliver if USAID moves forward with a new disability-focused project.
The project concept USAID is exploring is described as "Implementing a Sustainable Model to Improve the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities." Through this RFI, USAID/Vietnam is asking Vietnamese-based local organizations, both for-profit and non-profit non-government organizations, to provide written details about their capacities. In practical terms, USAID is trying to map the local service-provider landscape: who is active in disability inclusion, what experience they have, what technical strengths they bring, what geographic reach they have, and how prepared they are to deliver services that would support inclusion of persons with disabilities in a durable, sustainable way.
The core purpose of the RFI is to inform USAID planning and decision-making. The information collected is meant to guide future project design choices, such as what types of activities are feasible, what implementation models could work, what kinds of partnerships may be needed, and how to structure a potential future procurement or assistance mechanism. USAID explicitly indicates that the information submitted will be used to help with future planning decisions rather than to make an immediate award decision. USAID also states that the information provided will not be shared publicly, which is meant to encourage candid, detailed submissions from organizations about their operational capacity, experience, and constraints.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type and "Other" funding activity category, reflecting that it is an RFI rather than a typical grant competition. The CFDA number listed is 98.001. The eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," but the narrative makes clear the intended respondents are Vietnamese-based local for-profit and Vietnamese-based local not-for-profit NGOs that are engaged in disability-related services or are capable of providing such services. The RFI was created on August 7, 2018, and the original closing date for submissions was August 21, 2018. No award ceiling or expected number of awards is specified, which is consistent with an RFI whose main function is market research and program design support rather than an actual solicitation for funding.
Overall, this notice signals USAID/Vietnam was in the early stage of shaping a disability inclusion project and wanted to ground that effort in realistic, locally informed input. Organizations that responded would typically be expected to describe their programs and service delivery experience, staffing and technical expertise, partnerships, evidence of results, monitoring and evaluation capability, ability to operate across provinces, and any specialized competencies related to disability inclusion. The attached RFI (referenced in the notice) would contain the specific questions and formatting instructions for what USAID wanted submitted.Apply for RFI DISABILITYPROGRAM 08072018
