The request is for information only, and your response is neither an offer nor a quote. This request for information does not commit the FHFA to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission to this RFI. Also, this RFI does not obligate FHFA to contract for services or guarantee any respondent inclusion on a potential solicitation mailing list.

FHFA is conducting market research and may share your inputs with others to develop a potential, future solicitation. Such restrictions eliminate that utility.
