Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 2024 005
USAID/Mexico is circulating a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Monitoring, Evaluation, Collaboration, Learning and Adapting (MECLA) Activities Local Partner and Sub-Partner Outreach" to map the current landscape of MECLA-related services available in Mexico. The purpose is not to announce an immediate grant competition, but to conduct market research that helps USAID understand what services are available locally, who is providing them, what capabilities they bring, what kind of coverage and experience they have, and what typical pricing looks like. In practical terms, USAID is trying to get a clearer picture of the supply and demand for monitoring and evaluation work and for broader collaboration and learning support across the development sector in Mexico, especially as it relates to local organizations.
The RFI seeks input from organizations that already offer MECLA-type services. That includes entities that conduct assessments and evaluations, provide technical consultancy, and facilitate or organize working sessions among implementing partners. USAID is particularly interested in learning about the range of services providers can deliver (for example, evaluation design, data collection and analysis, learning agendas, adaptive management support, facilitation, partner convenings, and related capacity-building), the geographic reach of those providers within Mexico, the scale and complexity of projects they have supported, and what it generally costs to procure these services in the local market. By collecting this information, USAID can better plan future procurements or programming decisions and shape approaches that match real market conditions rather than assumptions.
This notice is designated as a local area set-aside, signaling a preference or focus on local participation in Mexico, especially from local partners and sub-partners. The opportunity is listed under USAID/Mexico City, with an opportunity number of RFI 2024 005 and a closing date of June 18, 2024. The posting shows an award ceiling of $0 and does not list expected awards, which reinforces that this is an information-gathering exercise rather than a funding announcement. It is categorized as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type and activity category, which is common for RFIs because they are not awards in themselves.
For organizations working in monitoring, evaluation, learning, facilitation, and adaptive management in Mexico, the practical takeaway is that USAID is collecting details about provider capabilities, past performance, and price points to inform future USAID actions. Submitting a response can be a way for local firms, NGOs, research groups, and consultancies to put themselves on USAID's radar, demonstrate what they can do, and help shape how USAID structures any later solicitations related to MECLA services.Apply for RFI 2024 005
