Plunder Scenario 39
You enjoy a contract that is scheduled to expire soon. There have been some delays with a lengthy Q&A period. Your incumbent's rep requests that you extend the RFP opening date because he is going on vacation. You say no. He then calls the end user. How do you respond?
AP Response:
We reminded the end user that they are not permitted to engage in discussions with any parties, as we are operating within the established 'cone of silence' for the procurement process. The solicitation timeline remained unchanged, and the incumbent elected not to participate.
