Q:  What is the difference between the basic formal solicitations - A bid, an RFP, and an RFQ?

A:  
     A bid typically refers to product(s) and is based on a defined set of specifications where the lowest price is usually the deciding factor (Ex: vehicle purchases).
     An RFP generally refers to services and is not based on a defined set of specifications.  Vendors are requested to submit a proposal that best meets a general set of objectives.  Vendors are requested to submit a proposal that best meets a general set of objectives.  The vendor with the best value in regards to price and services is awarded the contract (Ex: janitorial services).
     A RFQ is usually for professional type services and only requests the qualifications of the company to be submitted for evaluation and does not request a proposal price.
