1 Request for Proposal (RFP) – This is a document that is sent to potential vendors in order to request a
proposal for their services. This is often used when there is a specific project in mind and the organization
wants to compare proposals from different vendors before making a decision.

organization is still in the research phase and wants to gather information about potential vendors before
issuing an RFP.
