About the EAC RFP Template Generator
The RFP Template Generator is a web tool that allows a user to create a basic Request for Proposal (RFP) template to procure certain election equipment. Based on a few inputs, the tool creates an RFP template that can be easily customized by an election office or purchasing department.
The tool relies on language from RFPs issued by election jurisdictions that have resulted in successful contracts.
