Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 287

A project manager is performing the procurement management process with three vendors. The project team is reviewing the requests for proposal (RFPs).
What type of procurement document is the RFP?

Answer options

• A. Bid document
• B. Statement of work (SOW)
• C. Source selection criteria
• D. Independent cost estimate

Correct answer: A

The RFP is classified as a bid document because it solicits proposals from vendors to fulfill project requirements. The other options, such as Statement of Work (SOW) and Source Selection Criteria, serve different purposes in the procurement process and do not specifically request proposals.
