AmeriCorps is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes to identify qualified and interested contractors under NAICS 611430 – Professional and Management Development Training capable of performing the complete AmeriCorps VISTA Training Support requirement described in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO).

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATION (RFQ), REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP), OR AN OFFER BY THE GOVERNMENT.

The complete scope and anticipated quantities are provided in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO).

IMPORTANT – Subsequent Solicitation

The Government intends to use responses to this RFI to identify contractors that demonstrate the capability and capacity to perform the complete requirement.

Contractors that do not respond to this RFI will not be included in the vendor pool identified through this market research and should not anticipate receiving the subsequent solicitation directly from the Government.

Submission of a response does not automatically qualify a contractor for inclusion in the subsequent solicitation. Respondents must provide sufficient information demonstrating their ability to perform and manage the full scope of the attached SOO.

The Government anticipates issuing the subsequent solicitation directly to those contractors that timely respond to this RFI and demonstrate the capability to successfully perform the complete requirement.

Respondents capable of performing only selected portions of the SOO will not be considered to have demonstrated full-scope capability for purposes of this market research.

For each example, provide:
