ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 97
ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 97 of 100
The proper sequence is issue the RFP, evaluate proposals, select the contractor, and conclude the agreement. First the organization communicates requirements and conditions to potential vendors. It then compares their submitted proposals against predefined criteria, chooses the best candidate, and finally signs the contract.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- a contractor cannot be selected before proposals are evaluated
- the contract cannot appropriately precede selection
- issuing the RFP after selecting or contracting defeats competitive solicitation
Key rule: Procurement order is RFP → proposal evaluation → contractor selection → contract.
