RFI is a widely used acronym in international business, especially in procurement, IT, construction, and consulting industries. In Brazil, while the English acronym is frequently used in corporate environments, it is often accompanied by the Portuguese translation 'Solicitação de Informação' for clarity in formal documentation. The RFI is typically the first step in a multi-stage procurement process, followed by RFP (Request for Proposal) or RFQ (Request for Quote).
