Opportunity Information: Apply for 72038823RFI00005
This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by USAID/Bangladesh (USAID-Dhaka) under FAR 15.201(e) to gather input from any interested organizations or individuals on how to strengthen multi-species wildlife conservation in Bangladesh. It is not an announcement of an award by itself, but a market research and consultation step meant to shape USAID thinking about a potential future activity and to understand what approaches, capabilities, and partnerships exist in the sector.
The focus of the RFI is on practical recommendations to improve the protection of key wildlife species and their habitats across multiple levels of action: local, regional, and national. USAID is signaling interest in strategies that respond to urgent conservation pressures, particularly actions that can reduce ongoing habitat degradation, halt biodiversity loss, and prevent extinction risks for species that are vulnerable, endangered, or threatened. In other words, the agency is looking for ideas that go beyond general conservation goals and speak to interventions that can produce measurable improvements in species protection and habitat integrity.
The opportunity title is "Request for Information on USAID's Bangladesh Multi-Species Wildlife Conservation Activity" (Funding Opportunity Number 72038823RFI00005). The activity area is categorized under Environment, with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 98.001. The listing shows the anticipated instrument type as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation, although the RFI itself is simply a request for input and does not commit USAID to funding or a specific design.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning USAID is open to hearing from a broad range of potential respondents, including local and international organizations, NGOs, universities, research institutions, private sector entities, and individual experts. A key objective is for USAID to better understand "market dynamics" in Bangladesh's conservation space: who is active, what they can deliver, what partnerships or coalitions are feasible, and what constraints or opportunities should shape a future program.
The posting includes an original closing date of May 25, 2023, and it does not specify an award ceiling or the number of expected awards (both appear as zero/blank in the source fields), reinforcing that this is an information-gathering request rather than a funded solicitation. Overall, the RFI is best read as USAID testing and refining possible directions for a multi-species wildlife conservation effort in Bangladesh, seeking concrete, experience-based recommendations that could inform the design of a subsequent cooperative agreement or related assistance activity.Apply for 72038823RFI00005
