RFI-613-22-000003: Support to Zimbabwe’s multi-sectoral HIV response

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to gather market insights and strategic input for an upcoming funding opportunity for a program that is in support of the multi-sectoral HIV response led by the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ). The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Zimbabwe intends to release, in early 2023, one request for proposals (RFP) or Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) focused on the prevention of HIV transmission among priority populations, and facilitating continuity of care and viral suppression for those living with HIV. Priority popultions for the RFA or NOFO include key populations (KP)--sex workers in their diversity and their sexual partners, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender individuals (TG), individuals who inject drugs; adolescent girls and young women (AGYW); and at-risk young men. This RFI is issued solely for information-gathering and planning purposes. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a Request for Application (RFA) and is not be construed as a commitment by the USG to issue any solicitation or NOFO, ultimately award a contract or assistance agreement on the basis of this RFI, or pay for any information voluntarily submitted as a result of this request. Responses to this RFI must not be portrayed as proposals and will not be accepted by the USG to form a binding agreement. It should be noted that responding to or providing comment on this RFI will not give any advantage to any organization in any subsequent procurement(s), if such procurement(s) is released and will not lead to an organizational conflict of interest. USAID will not provide answers to anything submitted in response to this request. USAID posts its competitive business opportunities on www.beta.sam.gov or www.grants.gov. It is the potential offeror’s/applicant’s responsibility to monitor these sites for announcements of new opportunities. Responses to this RFI may be used by USAID without restriction or limitation.
