What is the Difference between a bid and a proposal?
Bids, known as competitively sealed bids or Invitation for Bid (IFB), refer to a contracting method in which sealed bids are publicly solicited, opened, and a contract is awarded based on price to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Proposals refer to a contracting method in which a solicitation is made through a Request for Proposal (RFP), and between receipt of proposals and award, discussions with vendors may take lace, which may result in price changes.
