Which item is NOT typically included in an RFQ?

• A. Date of Issuance
• B. RFQ Due Date
• C. Insurance requirements
• D. Selection Criteria

Answer: (C)

RFQ content centers on evaluating vendors' qualifications and how responses will be scored. It includes logistical details like the date of issuance and the due date, along with the selection criteria that determine which respondents advance. Insurance requirements, however, are about risk transfer and contractual obligations and belong in the contract documents or in a separate risk/insurance schedule rather than in the qualification request. While you may address insurance later during contracting or request proof of coverage as part of the contract process, the standard RFQ itself focuses on qualifications and evaluation, not on insurance terms.
