Which item is part of Request for Info Questions?

• A. Tie to a PIR
• B. When do I need it by?
• C. Why do I need it?
• D. What is a BATAR?

Answer: (A)

Request for Information questions aim to gather data that directly informs program decisions by tying each inquiry to a defined information requirement. The strongest item to include is tying the inquiry to a PIR, because it anchors the request in the program’s information baseline and shows exactly which requirement the response will satisfy. This provides clear traceability and helps evaluators see how the information will affect decisions.

The other options don’t fit as standard RFI content. Scheduling-type timing questions address deadlines rather than the information needed. Questions about why the information is needed relate to justification, not the specific data being requested. And a term like BATAR is a glossary item, not an RFI-specific information requirement tied to the program’s PIR.
