A request asking contractors to prove their qualifications before being invited to bid on a project.
A request for qualifications (RFQ) is a document issued by an owner soliciting information about contractors' experience, financial capacity, key personnel, and past project performance, used to develop a shortlist of qualified firms. An RFQ is typically the first step in a two-step procurement that culminates in an RFP or invitation to bid. It allows owners to ensure only capable contractors compete.
