solicited proposals

A solicited proposal is a formal request made by a government agency or organization asking vendors or service providers to submit plans and cost estimates for a specific project or service. It’s like issuing an official invitation to bid, where the organization clearly outlines what they need, and interested companies respond with their proposed solutions and prices. This process helps ensure transparency, competitive pricing, and that the organization selects the best option based on quality, cost, and fit with their requirements.
