This is a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) / Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Acquisition and Assistance, Transportation Division (M/OAA/T). This is NOT a solicitation for work or a request for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations, and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of USAID. Interested organizations may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements described below by responding to the criteria and pricing sheet outlined below. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this SSN/RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by USAID to form a binding contract. Responses to this SSN/RFI are strictly voluntary and USAID will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this SSN/RFI. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research to gauge the interest and capabilities of small businesses to provide USAID’s Office of Food for Peace with overseas warehousing and logistics services as described below. Responses to this SSN/RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the result of the review. Respondents are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this SSN/RFI; all costs associated with responding to this SSN/RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense.

If a Request for Proposals (RFP) is subsequently issued, it will be announced on the beta.sam.gov (https://beta.sam.gov/) website at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that RFP separately from any response to this SSN/RFI. This SSN/RFI does not restrict USAID's acquisition approach on a future RFP, nor does it commit USAID to a particular set-aside. Any organization responding to this SSN/RFI should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed to allow USAID to determine the organization’s capabilities to perform this work.
