解説
問 20
Incorrectア
Checking a quotation and then placing an order is ordering (concluding a purchase contract), which is the entrance of procurement. It comes before delivery, and at that point no deliverable exists yet, so it cannot be acceptance inspection. The document used to ask a vendor for a quotation is called an RFQ (Request For Quotation).
- イ
正解 Acceptance inspection means that, after the ordering party has received the deliverables from the vendor, it checks whether their content, quality, and quantity are as defined in the contract and the requirements specification, and formally acknowledges receipt if there is no problem. Choice イ, “Confirming whether the deliverables from the vendor conform to the required specifications”, is exactly this definition, so イ is correct. Acceptance inspection is the final gate of the procurement process: only after it is passed (acceptance completed) does the obligation to pay become fixed, and ownership and operation of the system pass to the ordering party. Conversely, if the deliverables do not match the specifications they are rejected, and correction or redelivery is demanded. The key point is the timing — acceptance inspection is an after-the-fact check carried out after delivery.
Incorrectウ
Requesting a vendor to study a system proposal is the act of issuing an RFP (Request For Proposal). It is the stage of presenting the requirements, budget, and delivery deadline of the system you want to realize and asking vendors for proposals and estimates in order to select a vendor — a completely different process from acceptance inspection, which is the check of the deliverables.
Incorrectエ
A request for information is an RFI (Request For Information). It belongs to the earliest stage of procurement and is issued to gather broad information from vendors about what technologies, products, and services are available. It sits at the head of the flow RFI → RFP → ordering → delivery → acceptance inspection, the opposite end from acceptance inspection.
ここがポイント
- Acceptance inspection = after delivery, the ordering party checks whether the deliverables match the required specifications and the contract and confirms receipt. Only once it passes does the obligation to pay become fixed; it is the final gate of procurement.
- The procurement flow is RFI (request for information) → RFP (request for proposal) → vendor selection and quotation/ordering → delivery → acceptance inspection. Distinguishing each term by where it sits in this flow lets you answer this kind of question reliably.
