Writing an RFP for MFDs

Start researching and drafting your Request For Proposal (RFP) about a year in advance. And don't feel you have to start from scratch. Look to others who have already gone through the process. I based our RFP heavily on the RFPs from two generous colleagues, Michael Lloyd from Louisiana State University and Ray Chambers from Juniata College. Vendors may also have examples of RFPs that they will be willing to share with you.
