解説
問 16
- ア
正解 A request for proposal (RFP: Request For Proposal) is a document that the ordering party distributes to several candidate vendors during system procurement, requesting them to submit proposals. It is the ordering side's “Information systems department” (a) that creates and presents it, and the recipient is the “Vendor” (b) that handles system development, to whom the desired “System requirements” (c) and procurement conditions (budget, delivery deadline, contract form, etc.) are presented. The only combination that has all three of these elements is “ア” (a=Information systems department, b=Vendor, c=System requirements).
Incorrectイ
The error is that b is “User department”. The user department is the internal requester that raises the requirements, not the party to whom an RFP is presented to request a proposal. An RFP is a procurement document issued to an external vendor, so the recipient must be the “Vendor”.
Incorrectウ
The creator a and the recipient b are reversed, and c is also wrong. The party that creates and issues the RFP is the ordering side (the information systems department), not the “Vendor”. Moreover, what the RFP presents is the “System requirements” as a request; the “System implementation track record” is merely the vendor's own record shown on the proposal side.
Incorrectエ
a is “Vendor”, so the creator is reversed. It is the ordering side, not the vendor, that issues an RFP. The recipient b, “User department”, is also internal and not a procurement target. The c “System implementation track record” is also not the “System requirements” that an RFP should present; the track record is an item written on the proposal side that the vendor provides in response.
ここがポイント
- Grasp the role and the relationship between the parties: a request for proposal (RFP) is a document in which the ordering side (the information systems department) presents system requirements and procurement conditions to a vendor and requests a proposal.
- An RFP runs in the opposite direction from the “Proposal document” that receives the vendor's implementation track record and proposal content; distinguish the flow: RFP = ordering side → vendor (presenting requirements), proposal document = vendor → ordering side (the response).
