A government authority in Fort Collins, Colorado is seeking technical advisory services with a focus on supporting a transition of management for the Food for Peace Program. This Request for Information (RFI) aims to gather feedback to refine future solicitations, including insights, suggestions, and questions related to program support and implementation in foreign markets and challenging operational environments.

Advisory services should encompass communications and branding strategies within foreign markets, taking into account destination countries with branding limitations and diverse approaches to program publicity. Advisors must evaluate the trade-offs of establishing and maintaining prepositioned commodities—balancing costs, risks, and the advantage of rapid emergency response.

The advisory portfolio will also address agency operational challenges in unstable or hazardous contexts, providing guidance on program monitoring, accountability, and oversight. Additional input is sought on prioritizing geographies and commodities, especially as considerations may differ for emergency versus non-emergency food assistance programming. The contract period is set for one year.
