February 14, 2013 Procurement Forum
Next Meeting • March 14, 2013 • 10:00 – 11:30 am • University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Auditorium 2301 South University Avenue Little Rock
RFP vs. RFQ What’s the difference between the two?
Request for Proposal (RFP) • Utilized when the use of competitive sealed bidding is not practical or advantageous • Used when comparative, judgmental evaluation is required • Scored based on evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP • Price taken into consideration but not the most important evaluation criteria
Request for Proposal (RFP) EXAMPLES: • Software or Data Management Systems • Large IT Procurements • Most Services
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) • Used when qualified vendors with specialized expertise for a specific scope of work or service are needed • Agency knows the qualifications the vendor must meet • Selection is based on the respondent’s qualifications • Price is not a consideration in selecting a vendor • Price becomes a factor only after qualified vendor is identified
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) EXAMPLES: • Contracts in which the agency sets the rate • Contracts in which the agency needs all qualified vendors to provide statewide coverage • No cost to the State contracts
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) EXAMPLES: • Advertising Campaigns • Architectural • Engineering • Legal Services
PCS Contacts • Amber Furgerson • amber.furgerson@dfa.arkansas.gov • 501-371-6066 • Rebecca Kee • rebecca.kee@dfa.arkansas.gov • 501-371-6059
