Wait, is 'requesting quotations' even a real word? I thought we were supposed to be talking about ethics, not the dictionary!

Requesting quotes from multiple suppliers when you've already decided where to award the contract? That's just misleading. Definitely unethical in my opinion.

Haha, negotiating with suppliers? That's just good business sense, not unethical at all! I'm surprised that's even an option.

Requesting quotes without any intention to purchase? That's just a waste of everyone's time. I'd say that's unethical too.

Placing business with a company where your sister works, even if instructed, seems like a clear conflict of interest. That's definitely unethical in my book.

I agree with Elena. A because of conflict of interest and C because it wastes suppliers' time.
