a negotiated contract is not a competitive solicitation. The way i see it a competitive solicitation is more like an open competition for the contract in question but a negotiated contract is basically a signed agreement between both parties.

The Government may not accept quotes submitted in response to a solicitation document that is classified as a "request for information" (RFI) or a "request for proposals" (RFP) that explicitly states it is non-binding. Additionally, if the solicitation lacks the necessary elements to form a contract, such as clear terms or pricing, it may also be deemed non-binding. Only solicitations that indicate an intent to form a binding contract, such as a "request for quotations" (RFQ), are typically accepted for that purpose.

A solicitation used in negotiated procurements is typically referred to as a Request for Proposals (RFP). It serves to communicate the government's specific requirements and expectations to potential contractors, outlining the criteria for selection and the proposal submission process. The RFP invites contractors to submit their proposals or offers, allowing for a more flexible and detailed evaluation of solutions compared to standard bidding processes. This approach facilitates negotiations and fosters collaboration between the government and contractors.
