A Request for Proposal (RFP) process may be used when it is determined by the Chancellor or the Chancellor's designee that it is more practical and advantageous to receive proposals for services or goods rather than to invite competitive bids based on detailed specifications. The RFP process will ordinarily be limited to purchases, such as professional services, where the purchase award is based on qualitative factors most advantageous to the state.
