A Statement of Work (SOW) describes the work scope to be performed and is a document provided to define requirements, not a solicitation document used to request vendor pricing.

A Request for Quote (RFQ) is issued when the buyer has clearly specified the goods needed and requires only pricing from the vendor, without requesting full proposals or methodologies. This is the appropriate tool when the product is well understood and the only variable is cost, making it efficient for straightforward material procurement scenarios.

A Proposal is a document submitted by the vendor in response to an RFP or RFQ - it comes from the seller, not from the buyer.

A Program Charter is an internal governance document that formally authorizes the program; it has no role in soliciting vendor pricing.
