Use of RFP Process to Conduct Adult Tobacco Survey - 8/17/07

Q: North Dakota must use a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to conduct its Adult Tobacco Survey and is seeking examples of RFPs from states that have gone through a similar process.  The survey will be conducted in the next 2 years and this is the first time North Dakota has received funding to do the survey.  Any examples or assistance is appreciated.

A:

1. Alabama - Alabama did not have to use an RFP.
    
2. Illinois - To assist with the inquiry from North Dakota regarding an RFP used to solicit bids to conduct the Adult Tobacco Survey (ATS), the attached document is submitted from Illinois.  The attached RFP was used to solicit bidders to conduct the ATS and Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) in Illinois per the state's procurement rules:
