A project manager is writing an RFP for a large infrastructure project. The project manager wants to ensure that the RFP is fair and does not inadvertently favor one vendor. Which action is most important to achieve this?

Set a very short deadline for proposal submission to speed up the process.

Include the names of the evaluation team members in the RFP.

Write the RFP in a way that is clear, objective, and based on functional requirements rather than specific solutions.

Include a detailed statement of work (SOW) that specifies the exact technology stack to be used.

Which practice is an ethical consideration in vendor selection?

Disclosing confidential information about one vendor to another

Evaluating all vendors using the same criteria

Selecting a vendor based on personal friendship

Accepting gifts from a vendor during the evaluation process

A project manager is procuring a complex, high-risk research and development project. The requirements are not fully defined, and the project is expected to take several years. The organization wants to encourage the vendor to control costs while also allowing for flexibility in the evolving scope. Which contract type best balances these needs?

Cost-plus-incentive-fee (CPIF) contract

Cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract

Time and materials (T&M) contract

A project manager is managing a vendor under a fixed-price contract. The vendor has delivered all milestones on time, but the project manager has noticed that the quality of the deliverables is declining. The project manager wants to address this issue without breaching the contract. What is the most appropriate action?

Withhold payment for the most recent milestone until the quality improves.

Schedule a meeting with the vendor to discuss the quality issues and agree on a corrective action plan.

Accept the declining quality as the vendor is meeting the schedule and the contract is fixed-price.

Issue a formal warning to the vendor and threaten to terminate the contract.
