Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052025RFI00001
USAID/Guatemala has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "RFI on Sustainable Agricultural Water Management in Guatemala Activity" (Opportunity No. 72052025RFI00001) to gather market input that will support a feasibility assessment and the design of a future Sustainable Water Management (SWM) activity. The core purpose is to collect practical insights, lessons learned, and technical recommendations from organizations that have real experience in agricultural water management and multiple-use water resources, climate adaptation, and water-related infrastructure development, particularly in Guatemala or in regions with similar geographic, climatic, and smallholder farming conditions. The information USAID receives will be used to shape a more detailed plan for addressing irrigation and broader water resource constraints that limit productivity and resilience for smallholder farmers, with a geographic focus on the Western Highlands and the departments of Alta Verapaz and Baja Verapaz.
This announcement is explicitly not a funding solicitation and should not be treated as a Notice of Funding Opportunity. USAID is using the RFI strictly for planning and information-gathering, meaning it is meant to help the agency understand what approaches are feasible, what implementation models work best, where the main technical and governance bottlenecks tend to be, and how a future activity could be structured to respond to local needs and risks. The RFI also emphasizes that responses are voluntary, non-binding, and will not be compensated by the U.S. Government. Submitting a response does not provide any competitive advantage for a later procurement or assistance process, and it also does not prevent an organization from competing later if USAID issues a future request for applications, proposals, or other solicitation related to the SWM activity.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under the agency USAID/Guatemala (Guatemala City), with an unrestricted eligible applicant category, and it is classified under Natural Resources with CFDA 98.001. The posting indicates an original closing date of January 22, 2025, and, consistent with an RFI, it lists an award ceiling of $0 because no award is being offered at this stage. The record also notes "Expected Awards: 50," which in the context of an RFI typically reflects an estimate of anticipated responses or engagement rather than funded awards. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as USAID doing early-stage design work for a potential future program aimed at improving sustainable, climate-smart agricultural water management and strengthening water access and reliability for smallholder farmers in priority regions of Guatemala.Apply for 72052025RFI00001
