Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 380

You are completing the requirements for vendor selection and need to create a procurement form that will ask the vendor to provide only a price for commercial- off-the-shelf solution.
What type of procurement form will you need to provide to the vendor?

Answer options

• A. Request for proposal
• B. Purchase order
• C. Request for information
• D. Request for quote

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Request for quote, as this document specifically seeks pricing information from vendors. The other options are not suitable; A (Request for proposal) typically requests detailed solutions, B (Purchase order) is used for placing an order after selection, and C (Request for information) gathers general information, not just pricing.
