Rather than composing a request for proposal (RFP), a soliciting organization may first describe the needed work in general terms and invite potentially interested parties to prepare for this forthcoming opportunity. This type of announcement is usually called a request for qualifications (RFQ) or a notice of intent (NOI). The soliciting organization may also publish its RFQ or NOI-in newspapers and professional journals, on websites, or through industry-related email distribution lists. The responding parties will register their interest in the project with the soliciting organization and, as necessary, make a case for their qualifications. This effort could include explaining past accomplishments, identifying companies for which they performed pertinent work, describing this work in detail, and providing a list of references. The responses submitted to an RFQ or a notice of intent are called letters of interest or intent. Based on the letters of interest it receives, the soliciting organization will develop full descriptions of the work desired (RFPs/SOWs) for the groups it believes have the appropriate qualifications.
