ITPEC IP October 2018 Question 100
ITPEC IP October 2018 — Question 100 of 100
An RFI obtains technology-trend research reports or other market information, while an RFP obtains concrete proposals. The customer first learns what technologies and supplier capabilities are available, then presents defined needs so vendors can propose solutions for evaluation and contractor selection.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- non-disclosure agreements protect information but are not the requested output of an RFP
- vendor financial statements may support due diligence but do not replace technology research
- proposals follow an RFP, not the preliminary RFI
Key rule: RFI gathers information to shape requirements; RFP requests competing solution proposals against those requirements.
