Prior to publicizing a solicitation of offers, the Authority may, when applicable and in consideration of its best interests, publicize and issue Requests for Information or an Expression of Interest.
The Authority may publicize the solicitation and issue Requests for Qualifications from prospective offerors before soliciting offers under any method of procurement. In such case, the Authority may limit its solicitation of offers only to firms that submit a response or only to those firms that submit a response and are deemed most qualified.
If the IFB or RFP is issued only to selected firms, further publicizing the IFB or RFP is not required.
