Explanation
Plan Contracting (in older PMBOK editions) is the process of preparing the procurement documents needed to solicit proposals from sellers, including the Statement of Work (SOW), Request for Proposal (RFP), and evaluation criteria used to compare responses. The team is defining what they need and how they will judge responses - that is Plan Contracting. Plan Purchases and Acquisitions is an earlier process focused on deciding what to buy and when. Request Sellers Responses is the later process of actually soliciting and receiving proposals. Select Sellers is the final step of evaluating proposals and awarding the contract.
