Which of the following statements is true of a proposal?

A) Proposal preparation is not a major activity for many firms.
B) Potential buyers prepare proposal reports telling what they need.
C) Most governmental and nonprofit agencies issue requests for proposals.
D) Proposal writing is done by all the internal employees of an organization.

Governmental and nonprofit agencies frequently issue requests for proposals (RFPs) as a way to solicit bids from potential vendors to provide goods or services. This process typically involves the potential buyer outlining their requirements and expectations for the project, and vendors responding with a proposal that addresses these needs. While some firms may not engage in formal proposal preparation, it is still a common activity for many businesses and organizations. It is generally not the case that all internal employees are involved in proposal writing, as this task may be delegated to a specific team or department depending on the organization.
