ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 97

Source exam: ITPEC IP April 2020Topic: System Planning

ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 97 of 100

A request for proposal is generally issued by the customer's information system department to vendors and presents system requirements and procurement conditions. Vendors use the RFP to prepare concrete proposals covering their solution, method, schedule, price, and terms.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- user departments contribute business needs but normally do not receive an RFP from the information system department

- a vendor responds to an RFP rather than issuing it to the customer

- an RFP describes requirements for a system to be procured, not an already completed installation result

Key rule: The customer issues the RFP; candidate vendors submit proposals in response.
