PROCUREMENT
The UNAMA Procurement Unit procures requisite commodities through competitive solicitations from qualified vendors registered in the vendor roster.
Depending upon the complexity of a requirement and the value of the commodity to be procured, the solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation to Bid (ITB) or as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). In specific;
- RFP's are issued when the requirements are not specific and price may be only one of other considerations in award of the Contract.
- ITB's are issued when the requirement is specific and evaluation of offers is based on price and other price related factors.
- RFQ's are issued for low value procurement normally where the requirement is specific, and evaluation of offers is based on price and other price related factors.
As a general practice most requirements above US$150,000 are procured through either an RFP or ITB.
