ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 98

Source exam: ITPEC IP April 2018Topic: System Planning

ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 98 of 100

An RFP is created by the ordering organization to request concrete system proposals from potential vendors. It communicates objectives, requirements, constraints, deliverables, evaluation criteria, and proposal instructions so competing solutions can be compared.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- the customer, not an already selected vendor, issues the RFP

- it is prepared before vendor selection rather than jointly with the awarded vendor

- broad preliminary information gathering is more characteristic of an RFI

Key rule: An RFI explores available information; an RFP requests solution proposals; the contract follows evaluation and selection.
