Explanation

An RFP is the correct procurement document when the project need is known but the solution is undefined, allowing vendors to propose their own approaches.

Common mistakes.

B. An RFI (Request for Information) is used purely to gather market information before requirements are developed, and does not solicit vendor proposals or binding offers.
C. An RFQ (Request for Quotation) is used when requirements are fully defined and the buyer only needs competitive pricing, which is the opposite of an undefined project.
D. A SOW (Statement of Work) is a document the buyer creates to describe work to be performed by a vendor, not a tool used to find or solicit a vendor.

Concept tested. Procurement document selection for undefined scope
