The acronym RFP stands for Request for Proposal.
So, what is a request for proposal?
A request for proposal (RFP) is basically a publication of detailed requirements by a prospective buyer in order to receive vendor offerings.
Usually dedicated to software evaluation, comparison, and selection, a request for proposal may be issued to select any kind of goods, work, construction, products, and services. RFP publication is an efficient tool to gather solution capabilities, which are then put into a decision matrix allowing the selection of the solution that best fits the requirements, that is the one that provides the best value at the lowest price.
The request for proposals or RFP template is part of your FREE RFP Toolkit. You will find in it, amongst others, templates and samples of a cover letter, letter of intent, rejection letter, etc, and of course the RFP template.
The RFP is one of the 4 most common methods of contracting, presented as follows in descending order of competitiveness:
Full and Open Competition
- Request for Proposals (RFP);
- Invitation to Bid (ITB), also known as Invitation for Bids (IFB), or Invitation to Tender (ITT);
Other Than Full and Open Competition
- Request for Quotation (RFQ); and
- Sole Source.
For further information about contracting and competition, consult the the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 6 on Competition Requirements.
