Washington Request For Information (RFI) is a formal document issued by the State of Washington's Office of Procurement and Contracting to solicit feedback from potential vendors about their ability to provide services or goods. The document is used to gather information to inform the State's future procurement decisions. The Washington RFI process is designed to solicit input from vendors that will help the State identify qualified vendors, assess their capabilities, and evaluate potential solutions. The RFI includes a description of the State's needs, questions that vendors must answer, and the timeline for submitting responses. Types of Washington RFI include: 1. Pre-Solicitation: This type of RFI is used to gather information about the services and/or goods that vendors can provide prior to the issuance of a solicitation. 2. Post-Solicitation: This type of RFI is issued after a solicitation has been issued and is used to solicit feedback from vendors about the solicitation. 3. Competitive Sealed Proposal: This type of RFI is used to solicit feedback from vendors regarding a competitive sealed proposal solicitation. 4. Market Research: This type of RFI is used to identify potential vendors and assess their capabilities.
