You are the project manager for your organization, and you’ll need to procure servers and workstations from the vendor. You’d also like the vendor to install the operating system on each of the workstations based on an image you’ve created. In your procurement process, you’ve specified that the vendor must provide a fixed quote for the work. What is a primary advantage of an IT project manager requiring a vendor to deliver a fixed quote?

A. It locks the vendor into the project.

B. It prevents the vendor from adding any additional features to the implementation.

C. It allows the project manager to use the quote for up to one year.

D. It allows the project manager to incorporate the quote into a proposed budget.
