I think D is too focused on contracts, not enough on planning.

I feel like RFPs are crucial for procurement, but I can't remember if they should be included in the initial planning or later stages.

I think option A sounds familiar because it covers alternatives analyses, which we practiced in a similar question.

I remember we discussed make-or-buy decisions in class, but I'm not sure if that's the only thing we need to consider for procurement planning.

I'm torn between A and D. I know proposal evaluation criteria is important, but I can't recall if it fits into the procurement planning phase.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the requirements for a shutdown class in WebLogic.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about some of these statements. I'll need to review my notes on NWAM to make sure I understand the concepts before selecting the correct answers.
