Opportunity Information: Apply for 72051423RFI00003
USAID/Colombia released a Request for Information (RFI) related to a planned program called the Human Rights and Access to Justice for Migrants Activity. The RFI was issued on February 23, 2023, with feedback due by March 24, 2023. The planned activity is expected to run roughly from 2023 to 2028 and is projected at a total budget in the range of $12 million to $15 million. Although the funding instrument type in the source data is listed as a procurement contract, the specific mechanism for the anticipated activity is still described as “TBD” in the notice, signaling that USAID was still shaping the approach at the concept stage.
The core purpose of the anticipated activity is to improve human rights protections and practical access to justice for migrants and returnees in Colombia. USAID indicates the activity will work with three main groups: (1) migrant communities, (2) returnee populations, and (3) receptor communities (the communities receiving or hosting migrants and returnees). In parallel, the activity is expected to engage with Government of Colombia justice institutions. The central problem the program aims to tackle is the set of barriers that prevent migrants and returnees from using justice-sector services, along with gaps that keep institutions from effectively preventing, identifying, and responding to human rights violations against migrants when such violations occur. In other words, the activity is framed as both demand-side (community-level access and awareness) and supply-side (institutional capacity and responsiveness) within the justice system.
This notice is not a solicitation for funding applications or bids. USAID explicitly states the RFI is only meant to gather input on the attached Concept Paper (Attachment A) and to test the “soundness and robustness” of the proposed program design. The agency emphasizes there is no commitment to issue a future Request for Proposals, Notice of Funding Opportunity, or any other solicitation, and it will not pay costs associated with preparing RFI responses. USAID also clarifies that responding to the RFI does not provide any competitive advantage in any future procurement or assistance process and will not create an organizational conflict of interest. Responses are to be treated as confidential, and organizations should not expect individualized replies from the U.S. Government to their suggestions.
Eligible participants for the RFI are essentially unrestricted, meaning any interested organization can submit feedback. USAID directs respondents to focus strictly on the questions provided in Attachment B (the RFI Guiding Questions) and on comments and suggestions related to the concept paper. Submissions must be no more than eight pages, written in English or Spanish, and formatted in 11-point font. Feedback must be emailed by the deadline to the listed USAID contact: Rachel Muth, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, at rmuth@usaid.gov. The opportunity is attributed to USAID/Bogota (Colombia), under CFDA 98.001, and categorized under community development.
In practical terms, this RFI is USAID’s way of pressure-testing a proposed multi-year justice and human rights activity focused on migrant and returnee populations in Colombia before finalizing any formal funding competition. Interested parties are being asked to review the concept and provide targeted, structured input to help USAID refine the program’s design, assumptions, and implementation approach ahead of any potential next steps.Apply for 72051423RFI00003
