A laundry response answers two kinds of package. A public solicitation is found on a portal and bound by procurement rules, and a private RFP arrives by invitation with its own terms. The response work overlaps, but the rules differ.
How the two differ
A public solicitation enforces strict responsiveness, mandatory forms, and a fixed evaluation, and the rules are public. A private RFP is shaped by the buyer, often with more flexibility but less transparency on how it is scored. The response has to read which it is.
Why the distinction matters
Treating a public bid like a private one risks a non responsive submission, and treating a private RFP like a public bid misses the chance to shape the offer. The agent identifies the type and applies the right discipline to each.
How the agent handles it
Our agent reads whether the package is a public solicitation or a private RFP, applies the right responsiveness rules, and builds the matrix, the go or no go, and the draft for either, so a firm answers both well.
