    ATTACHMENT.pdf
    The USAID iDOTS Pre-Application Conference document addresses critical questions regarding the application process for potential grantees. Key points include that past performance reports must be provided by the applicant and can be verified by USAID. Both NCAGE and UEI numbers are mandatory for SAM registration. Organizations not meeting all Non-US Organizations Pre-Award Survey (NUPAS) requirements can still apply if they have compliant partners. SAM registration guidelines differ for US and foreign entities based on their primary operational location. USAID maintains a policy against lobbying for grant consideration, and while no minimum bank balance is mandated, financial assessments are conducted to ensure organizational responsibility. Additionally, local partners are permitted to engage international sub-partners, but unsolicited applications are subjected to stringent review criteria without guarantee of awarding. The document encapsulates valuable insights and clarity for organizations seeking federal grants or RFPs from USAID, emphasizing compliance and transparency in the grant application process.
