Explanation
A Request for Information (RFI) is the correct procurement document for gathering preliminary product and capability details from multiple vendors before a specific product is selected.
Common mistakes.
- A. An RFC (Request for Comments) is an IETF publication used to define internet standards and protocols, not a vendor procurement document.
- B. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is a business continuity metric that defines the maximum acceptable downtime after a disaster, unrelated to vendor selection.
- C. An RFQ (Request for Quotation) is used after a product is already specified and the buyer only needs pricing details, which is not the case here since the product type has not yet been determined.
Concept tested. Procurement document types - RFI vs RFQ vs RFP
