 What is the difference between Request for Quotes (RFQs) and Request for Proposals (RFPs)?The main difference is estimated dollar value. Request For Quotes (RFQs) are for solicitations less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT),  and Request for Proposals (RFPs) are for solicitations over SAT.

In addition, RFQs are offers to procure an item that will result in a purchase order and RFPs will result in a contract.
