A request for proposal is a document that solicits a response from potential vendors to provide goods or services.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a document used in product management to solicit proposals from vendors and suppliers. It is typically used when a company needs to purchase a product or service and wants to evaluate the offerings of various suppliers. The RFP outlines the requirements of the project, including the scope of work, timeline, budget, and any other relevant information. It also outlines the evaluation criteria that will be used to select a vendor. The RFP process allows companies to compare different vendors and select the one that best meets their needs.
