  • Request for Proposal Guidelines Function: Procurement/AP Procedure: [Insert the Corresponding Procedure Or N/A] Contact: Megan Moran
    Request for Proposal Guidelines Function: Procurement/AP Procedure: [insert the corresponding procedure or N/A] Contact: Megan Moran Guideline Recommendations The creativity and innovation that suppliers choose to build into their proposals may be used to judge supplier proposals against each other, at the risk of failing to capture consistent information between bidders and thus hampering the decision making process. Effective RFPs typically reflect the strategy and short/long-term business objectives, providing detailed insight upon which suppliers will be able to offer a matching perspective. Solicitations should be disseminated to leverage and encourage competition. They may be disseminated to potential vendors based on prior experience or industry knowledge or other reasonable means. Solicitations may also be posted to the RF website. A request for proposal (referred to as RFP) is an invitation for suppliers, often through a bidding process, to submit a proposal on a specific commodity or service. A bidding process is one of the best methods for leveraging a company's negotiating ability and purchasing power with suppliers. The RFP process brings structure to the procurement decision and allows the risks and benefits to be identified clearly up front. The RFP may dictate to varying degrees the exact structure and format of the supplier's response. Considerations The RF has elected to accept the grace period for implementing the new procurement standards in the OMB Uniform Guidance as codified in 2 CFR Part 200. This policy is in compliance with OMB Circular A- 110. The new procurement standards will be implemented by the RF to be effective on July 1, 2018.

Prepare an effective response to a Request for Proposal. Position your business better to compete for and win government contracts. About FDIC Small Business Resource Effort The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recognizes the important contributions made by small, veteran, and minority and women-owned businesses to our economy. For that reason, we strive to provide small businesses with opportunities to contract with the FDIC. In furtherance of this goal, the FDIC has initiated the FDIC Small Business Resource Effort to assist the small vendors that provide products, services, and solutions to the FDIC. The objective of the Small Business Resource Effort is to provide information and the tools small vendors need to become better positioned to compete for contracts and subcontracts at the FDIC. To achieve this objective, the Small Business Resource Effort references outside resources critical for qualified vendors, leverages technology to provide education according to perceived needs, and offers connectivity through resourcing, accessibility, counseling, coaching, and guidance where applicable. This product was developed by the FDIC Office of Minority and Woman Inclusion (OMWI). OMWI has responsibility for oversight of the Small Business Resource Effort. Executive Summary A Request for Proposal (RFP, as it’s more commonly known) is a document issued when an organization wants to buy something and chooses to make the specifications available to only a few or many businesses so they can submit bids. With rising competition, more organizations are using the RFP response as a basis for comparison between different contactors to evaluate the best available solution.
