A dated guide to the public contracting notices once gathered under Seattle’s RFP and ITB pages, with context for reading older solicitations as resource records.
resource overview
The original page grouped notices from several departments and contracting pathways. The entries below preserve that structure while making their historical context clearer.
RFP means request for proposals; ITB means invitation to bid. Related notices may request qualifications, letters of interest, technical information, or a complete proposal. Deadlines, contact details, project budgets, and eligibility rules belong to the period in which each notice was published.

How to use this page
Older solicitations can help explain institutional priorities and administrative language. They should not be treated as current instructions, open competitions, or present-day contact information.
Deadlines and project conditions belong to the historical notice, not to the present day.
RFPs, ITBs, requests for qualifications, and requests for information serve different purposes.
Departmental links provide context about the kind of work or service being discussed.
For current opportunities, consult the responsible official source rather than a resourced page.
