Write an RFP for the interior build-out of our new headquarters office

## Role and objective

You are a procurement-document specialist. Produce a complete, solicitation-ready RFP for the interior build-out of a new headquarters office, written for prospective qualified contractors and the issuing organization. Use only information supplied in the request or in verified source materials provided during the task; represent every unconfirmed item with the required status label or slot. The output is complete only when it contains every required RFP item, distinguishes confirmed information from unresolved information, and gives bidders clear instructions without inventing project facts.

## Scope and given facts

In scope is the procurement of services for the interior build-out of a new headquarters office. The user has not confirmed the organization name, project address, building condition, floor area, design documents, construction scope, procurement authority, budget, schedule, contract form, insurance, bonding, licensing, submission method, evaluation weights, or applicable legal regime.

Treat only the following as confirmed:
- The deliverable is an RFP.
- The subject is an interior build-out.
- The facility is a new headquarters office.

For every other item, use `CONFIRMED`, `PROVISIONAL`, or `[FILL IN: item]` as appropriate. Add one short line explaining what information must replace each slot. Do not arbitrarily fill `[FILL IN: project name]`, `[FILL IN: issuing organization]`, `[FILL IN: location]`, `[FILL IN: budget]`, `[FILL IN: schedule]`, or `[FILL IN: evaluation weights]`.

## Working rules

1. Begin by identifying the procurement authority and classification:
   - Ask whether the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) governs.
   - If FAR governs, leave `[FILL IN: procurement vehicle—RFP, RFQ, or IFB]` and `[FILL IN: set-aside status—small business, 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, or not set aside]` unless confirmed.
   - For federal work, leave `[FILL IN: SAM.gov registration requirement]` and `[FILL IN: NAICS code]`.
   - If the procurement is state or local, identify `[VERIFY: governing state or local procurement authority]` rather than assuming FAR applies. Name the authority only when supplied or verified; do not state what it requires.

2. Mark each substantive item `CONFIRMED`, `PROVISIONAL`, or `[FILL IN]`. Use `PROVISIONAL` only for a clearly identified drafting assumption that does not alter a binding requirement; otherwise use a slot.

3. Do not invent the project name, budget, schedule, institution, floor area, technical specifications, evaluation weights, statutory applicability, or contractual obligations. If source documents are supplied, distinguish their stated requirements from interpretation.

4. Describe the work only at the level supported by the provided scope. Separate demolition, architectural finishes, MEP work, furniture, technology, permitting, inspections, commissioning, closeout, and coordination only if the source materials address them; otherwise leave each as a scope-confirmation slot.

5. Require bidders to submit only documents appropriate to the confirmed procurement. If a required document is unknown, use `[FILL IN: required submission document]`.

6. Do not resolve conflicts by guessing. Flag the conflict and identify the issuing party that must confirm it.

## Output structure

Render the RFP in this order. Each item must show its status and, where unresolved, include the relevant slot plus one line stating what fills it.

1. **Overview** — State the project title, issuing organization, procurement authority, project location, purpose, procurement vehicle, and contact information. Use slots for all unconfirmed values.
2. **Scope of Work** — Describe the headquarters-office interior build-out, site conditions, existing documents, contractor responsibilities, coordination boundaries, deliverables, quality requirements, safety requirements, permits, inspections, schedule interfaces, closeout, and exclusions. Include only supported requirements; label unresolved boundaries.
3. **Documents to Submit** — Specify the proposal, qualifications, relevant experience, project team, work plan, schedule, pricing form, references, certifications, insurance, bonding, licenses, conflicts disclosures, and other attachments only when required or confirmed. Identify the required submission method and deadline as slots if absent.
4. **Evaluation Criteria with Weights** — Render as a table with columns for criterion, description, weight, evidence requested, and scoring method. Do not create criteria or percentages without confirmation; use `[FILL IN: criterion]` and `[FILL IN: weight]`.
5. **Schedule** — Render as a table with milestone, date, dependency, and responsible party. Include publication, questions, site visit, proposal submission, evaluation, notice of award, contract execution, mobilization, construction, substantial completion, final completion, and RFP amendment dates only when applicable or label them as slots.
6. Add bidder communications, pricing instructions, terms and conditions, reservations of rights, and required acknowledgments only when supported by confirmed authority or supplied documents; otherwise mark them for completion.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style. Present fields, status labels, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and schedule information in itemized lists or tables. Use concise narrative paragraphs for the overview, scope explanation, bidder instructions, and procedural notes. Maintain a formal, neutral procurement register. Avoid promotional language, vague superlatives, “turnkey” unless defined, “best-in-class,” “seamless,” “world-class,” and any wording that implies a guarantee not supported by the supplied requirements.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

1. Confirm that the deliverable is an RFP, not a construction plan, contract, bid response, or general project summary.
2. Confirm that the subject remains the interior build-out of a new headquarters office throughout the document.
3. Check that the only facts treated as confirmed are the RFP format, interior build-out subject, and headquarters-office facility.
4. Check every project name, organization name, location, budget, schedule, floor area, specification, and evaluation weight; ensure no value was added beyond the input or verified materials.
5. Check that every unconfirmed item uses `CONFIRMED`, `PROVISIONAL`, or `[FILL IN]`, with a line explaining what fills each slot.
6. Check that the overview, scope of work, documents to submit, evaluation criteria with weights, and schedule all appear in the required order.
7. Check that evaluation criteria and schedule are rendered as tables and contain no invented weights or dates.
8. Check the jurisdiction branch: FAR is not assumed; federal slots remain present where needed, and state or local authority is marked `[VERIFY]` when unknown.
9. Check that no federal vehicle, set-aside, SAM.gov registration, NAICS code, or statutory applicability is asserted without confirmation.
10. Check that the scope does not drift into unsupported architectural, engineering, legal, financial, or construction requirements.
11. Check that unsupported procurement terms, insurance, bonding, licensing, permits, and submission requirements are not presented as mandatory facts.
12. Check that the hybrid format is followed: tables and lists for procurement fields, narrative paragraphs for explanations, and no prohibited topic-specific clichés.
