*A Request for Information (RFI) is a market research tool used for forecasted requirements. It’s posted early in the acquisition process, before defining a requirement for procurement. It’s used to help the buyer plan and understand market potential (interest by businesses that would submit a proposal), price, delivery, industry capabilities, etc. This method is used when the buyer needs insight into the market to develop the requirement/acquisition strategy. While specific details may also be requested, it’s generally a written request for ideas/information. An RFI may or may not be followed by a solicitation.
**A Sources Sought is a market research tool primarily used to identify small businesses capable of performing/providing the requirement. It’s posted early in the acquisition process, after defining a requirement for procurement. It’s used to gain knowledge of potential sellers of a specific requirement and to determine if there is a reasonable expectation of obtaining two or more offers from small business concerns. Specific details are requested by the buyer to identify potential contractors and determine market capacity consistent with the scope and scale of the requirement.
***Special notices are used to announce events like business fairs, long-range procurement estimates, pre-bid/pre-proposal conferences, meetings, and the availability of draft solicitations or draft specifications for review.
