CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 164

An organization needs a vendor to provide a solution. The organization can only describe its goals but not how to accomplish the work.
Which of the following types of procurement should be used?

Answer options

• A. Request for information
• B. Request for quote
• C. Request for bid
• D. Request for proposal

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Request for information, as it allows organizations to gather information about potential vendors' capabilities without specifying how to achieve the goals. The other options, such as Request for quote, Request for bid, and Request for proposal, imply a more detailed request for specific solutions or pricing, which is not suitable given the organization's situation.
