Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 442 17 000002
The Cambodia Health Quality Activity is a USAID Cambodia planning notice issued as a Request for Information (RFI), not a live grant competition. USAID's Office of Acquisition and Assistance in Phnom Penh released a draft Program Description (PD) for an activity focused on health quality (final activity name still to be determined) and is inviting feedback from industry and other stakeholders. The main goal at this stage is to collect comments, suggestions, and improvements that can strengthen the draft PD before it is finalized.
USAID indicates that the draft PD could later be used as the basis for a formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on Grants.gov. In other words, this RFI is part of USAID's market research and activity design process: it helps the agency refine what it wants to fund, how it wants to structure the work, and what outcomes it expects, before it formally asks organizations to apply.
If this moves forward to a funded program, USAID anticipates a five-year period of performance and a total funding range of about $10 million to $24.99 million. The funding instrument referenced is a cooperative agreement, which typically means that, if awarded, USAID would expect substantial involvement during implementation (for example, technical collaboration, approvals, or close coordination on plans and deliverables), rather than a hands-off relationship.
The opportunity listing is categorized under discretionary funding and the health sector, with CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is shown as unrestricted, suggesting that a wide range of organizations could potentially compete if and when a formal NOFO is released. The notice also references an expectation of up to five awards, which implies USAID may be considering multiple implementers or a portfolio approach rather than a single nationwide implementer, though final decisions would depend on the eventual NOFO.
The disclaimer language is important: responses are voluntary, will not be treated as applications, and cannot create any binding commitment by the U.S. Government. USAID will not reimburse any costs for preparing or submitting feedback, will not return submissions, and may not notify respondents of any review outcome. The RFI closing date listed in the source is March 28, 2017, and any future competitive announcement (if issued) would appear on Grants.gov and would require a separate response under the rules of that later NOFO.Apply for RFI 442 17 000002
