Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 2019 NEXT GHSC
The Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Request for Information for Next Generation Supply Chain" under the opportunity number "RFI 2019 NEXT GHSC." This is not a funding solicitation or a traditional grant competition; it is an information-gathering notice intended to collect input from interested parties to help shape or inform future planning related to a next-generation global health supply chain effort. The listing places it in the "Other" category for opportunity type, instrument type, and activity category, which is typical for RFIs that are used to explore market capabilities, gather technical ideas, and understand what approaches are feasible before an agency finalizes a procurement or assistance strategy.
The RFI is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which generally aligns with USAID programs. Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning any type of organization or entity could submit a response unless the attached RFI document specifies narrower parameters. In practice, that can include private sector firms, nonprofits, universities, implementing partners, consortia, and other stakeholders with relevant experience in supply chain management, logistics, health commodities, data systems, or related areas. Because this is an RFI rather than a grant announcement, participation does not require the respondent to meet the same compliance or cost-sharing rules that would apply to an actual award, although the attachment may still set formatting, content, or eligibility expectations for submissions.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of July 15, 2019, and a creation date of June 3, 2019. The award ceiling is shown as 0 and the number of expected awards is left blank, which reinforces that this notice is not offering funds and does not anticipate making awards directly from the RFI. Instead, USAID is requesting written input by the deadline, using the submission instructions provided in the attached RFI document.
In terms of what the opportunity is asking for, the public synopsis states that additional details about the responses sought and submission instructions are contained in the attachment. RFIs of this type commonly ask respondents to share perspectives on needs and gaps, propose technical and operational approaches, describe relevant past performance, identify innovations or best practices, estimate rough order-of-magnitude costs or resourcing considerations, and comment on risks, implementation challenges, and potential partnership models. For a "next generation supply chain" topic in a global health context, this often involves issues such as end-to-end visibility of commodities, forecasting and demand planning, warehousing and distribution models, last-mile delivery, quality assurance, cold chain considerations, data interoperability, performance management, and how to strengthen country ownership and sustainability while maintaining reliable product availability.
Overall, this notice should be read as an early market research step by USAID. Organizations interested in influencing how USAID structures any subsequent program, contract, cooperative agreement, or other mechanism related to a next-generation global health supply chain would have used this RFI to provide input. Anyone looking for specifics about the exact questions USAID asked, required response format, page limits, delivery method, and points of contact would need to refer to the attached RFI document referenced in the description.Apply for RFI 2019 NEXT GHSC
