RFP
Abbreviation · Development
Definitions
Request for Proposal — a formal document issued by an organization soliciting bids from vendors or contractors, specifying technical requirements, evaluation criteria, timelines, and budget constraints for a software or infrastructure project.
In plain English: An official document a company sends out asking vendors to submit their plans and pricing for a project.
Example: "The RFP requires SOC 2 compliance, 99.99% uptime SLA, and on-prem deployment — that narrows the vendor list to about three."
