Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 278 2015
The USAID/Jordan Water Conservation Activity (WCA) notice is not a funding announcement, but a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the USAID Mission in Jordan to check how well potential partners understand the planned WCA and its requirements. USAID is using this RFI to decide whether it should hold a Pre-Application Conference before releasing the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO). In other words, the agency is testing the market to see if applicants feel they have enough clarity to prepare competitive applications, or if they would benefit from an additional briefing session where USAID could walk through expectations, requirements, and any complexities tied to the future solicitation.
The RFI asks for a very simple response: either "YES, the Pre-Application Conference would be beneficial" or "NO, the Pre-Application Conference would not be beneficial." If the respondent answers "YES," they must include a short explanation of why, limited to 300 words. Responses had to be submitted by email only, and USAID explicitly stated that telephone calls would not be accepted. The deadline listed was September 29, 2015, by 4:30 PM Jordan time, and responses were to be sent to bdiah@usaid.gov. USAID also made clear that it would not directly reply to questions about the RFI; instead, it might use what it receives to shape the final NFO and decide whether a conference is warranted.
Several administrative details are included in the posting. The opportunity title is "USAID/Jordan Water Conservation Activity (WCA)" and the opportunity number is "RFI 278-2015." It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity with an "Other" type funding instrument and "Other" funding activity category, associated with CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, implying no special eligibility limitation is being applied at the RFI stage. The posting also shows an expected number of awards as one, but it does not provide an award ceiling (listed as 0), reinforcing that this is informational and not a binding funding solicitation.
Finally, USAID emphasizes standard limitations common to RFIs: the RFI does not obligate USAID to issue a future funding opportunity, does not commit the U.S. Government to make an award, and does not promise reimbursement for any costs incurred by organizations in preparing or submitting their response. The key takeaway is that this was an early, low-burden outreach step meant to gauge partner readiness and determine whether additional pre-solicitation communication (a Pre-Application Conference) would help improve understanding before the real funding announcement is released.Apply for RFI 278 2015
