Unit Assignments
Unit I Mini Project
There are eight RFP (request for price) documents located in the

8. Course Documents section of this course. Please
take this week to look them over carefully in order to be
prepared to select one for Unit II. You will be working with the
RFP you select throughout the course to build upon each unit’s
work. Each RFP has incomplete data, so you will be
required to research to fill in some of the blanks or the missing
data.
Take the RFP project from the perspective that you are the
contactor that won this bid; therefore, you must present
professional looking documents to your client. This means the
appropriate use of color and branding. Once you choose
your RFP, compose a 75 word document that identifies the RFP
you selected and your reason for choosing it.

Value Creation
Sellers create value for buyers in the form of providing leading
edge technology, state of the art products, timely
services, ease of buying, and quality of relationships, services,
and products. These values are usually related to
company finances (but not for all criteria, as compliance,
safety, and other factors can be considered). Sellers will
create value for you as the buyer, given the RFP you have
selected, and then in turn you will create value for your
buyer (client).
Taking into considerations the RFP you have selected to work
with during this course, answer the following two
questions in detail. Submit this assignment as one
comprehensive MS Word document of no less than 200 words.
1. What are the most important value add criteria your sellers

success?
2. In turn, what value will you provide to your clients? Why
should your clients select you as their future vendor?

How can these risks be mitigated? How can the
opportunities (if any) be used to improve the project and
