Which statement best describes how SA handles the RFP submission?

• A. SA automatically submits the RFP without any review.
• B. SA audits and submits the RFP; it's not automatic without review.
• C. SA approves and submits without auditing.
• D. SA reviews but may not submit after review.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that submitting an RFP is a controlled, two-step process. Before anything goes out, SA performs an audit to verify the document is complete, accurate, and aligned with approved templates, terms, and pricing. Only after this careful review does SA submit the RFP to vendors. This safeguards against missing information, errors, or noncompliance and creates a clear accountability trail for what’s being sent. If submission were automatic, or if the document were approved or reviewed without the audit, or if SA might review but not submit, important checks could be skipped and risky mistakes could slip through.
