Explanation

An RFP (Request for Proposal) is a type of bid document. Bid documents are used to solicit proposals or offers from prospective sellers and include RFPs, Invitations for Bid (IFB), and Requests for Quotation (RFQ). A Statement of Work (SOW) describes what work is to be performed, not the solicitation document itself. Source selection criteria are used to evaluate and score vendor proposals. An independent cost estimate is used internally to validate the reasonableness of vendor pricing, not as a solicitation document.
