Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The correct answer is the steering committee sends a formal document to several vendors to request a proposal about their wireless system. An RFP is an invitation sent to vendors that describes the requirements of a potential information system and requests a proposal from those interested. An RFP often includes a bidding process for a specific information system commodity and/or service. A vendor sending literature would not meet RFP requirements.
