What is the difference between an IFB, an RFP, and an RFQ? Invitations for Bids (IFB) are the most commonly used solicitation type. Request for Proposals (RFP) are used for specialized or complex professional services, including financial audits, IT services, development consultancies, and garbage collection etc.
An RFB is used when you know precisely what you need and have precise requirements and specifications. The RFP is a hybrid of these documents. An RFP is used when you have a general idea with some specifications and/or it's a large, complex project with potential for multiple solutions.

Bids – Bids are more formalized versions of a proposal that are submitted when two or more contractors compete for a project. They should be detailed to allow clients to compare costs, timelines, and other deciding factors that allow them to locate the best partner for their unique needs.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) usually refers to the pre-qualification stage of the procurement process. Only those proponents who successfully respond to the RFQ and meet the qualification criteria will be included in the subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation process.
