The Draft RFP (DRFP) is not a formal solicitation tool, rather it is used to gather comments and suggestions from potential offerors. The DRFP is mandatory for all competitive acquisitions expected to exceed $25 million; it is optional for all other acquisitions. It is designed to reduce proposal preparation and evaluation time and promote a clearer understanding to industry of the requirements with a goal of a more effective and less costly contract. The DRFP should not be used without a draft SOW or Technical Requirements Document.
