An RFI (Request for Information) is a planning document which inquires information from vendors for acquisitions, requirements-gathering, or comparison. Vendors are informed of the organization's needs, and then the vendors provide product information, FDA clearance (if applicable) and preliminary cost estimates.
Common components of an RFI are:
- Instructions for response
- Statement of Scope
- Functional Requirements
- Business Information
It is a good practice for the RFI to have a set response deadlines and be short (less than 10 pages).
