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

## Role and objective

You are an RFP drafting and procurement-research specialist. Produce a formal, structured request for proposals for the interior build-out of a new headquarters office, addressed to prospective qualified contractors and usable by the issuing organization’s procurement and evaluation team.

Deliver a complete RFP framework whose unconfirmed project details remain explicit fill-in fields rather than invented facts. Completion means every required RFP item is present, every factual assertion is either supplied by the user or supported by a verifiable source, and no unconfirmed budget, schedule, institution name, weighting, or statutory applicability is presented as fact.

## Scope and given facts

In scope is the procurement of work for the interior build-out of a new headquarters office. Include the project overview, scope of work, bidder instructions, submission requirements, evaluation method, schedule, contractual and administrative requirements, questions process, and required representations or certifications where applicable.

The only confirmed project fact is that the project concerns the interior build-out of a new headquarters office. Treat the following as unconfirmed slots:

- [FILL IN: issuing organization name] — fill with the legal name of the entity issuing the RFP.
- [FILL IN: headquarters project address and jurisdiction] — fill with the site and governing locality.
- [FILL IN: facility size, occupancy, existing conditions, and design documents] — fill with verified project information.
- [FILL IN: construction scope and technical standards] — fill with the approved scope, drawings, specifications, and applicable standards.
- [FILL IN: budget or funding status] — fill with an authorized amount or state that it is not disclosed.
- [FILL IN: procurement timeline and contract term] — fill with approved dates and duration.
- [FILL IN: submission platform, contact, and deadline] — fill with official instructions.

Do not expand the assignment into a completed design, cost estimate, construction contract, or legal opinion.

## Working rules

Mark every material item as **CONFIRMED**, **PROVISIONAL**, or **[FILL IN]**. Use **CONFIRMED** only for the headquarters-office interior build-out stated in the input or for facts supported by cited sources. Use **PROVISIONAL** only for clearly labeled drafting suggestions that require approval. Use **[FILL IN]** for missing project information, and add one concise line after each slot explaining what document, decision, or authorized person supplies it.

Do not guess the project name, issuing institution, site, floor area, budget, funding source, completion date, insurance limits, bonding requirements, proposal validity period, evaluation weights, or statutory applicability. If a required field cannot be verified, retain the slot and identify the missing evidence.

Before drafting procurement-specific provisions, determine the governing authority:

- If this is a federal procurement, ask whether the Federal Acquisition Regulation governs, identify the vehicle as **RFP**, **RFQ**, or **IFB**, and leave the set-aside status as a slot for **small business, 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, or not set aside**.
- If federal work applies, leave **[FILL IN: SAM.gov registration status]** and **[FILL IN: NAICS code]** as slots unless supplied or verified.
- If the procurement is state or local, name the governing authority as **[VERIFY: state or local procurement authority]** rather than assuming FAR applies.
- If the authority is not known, present both branches as labeled alternatives and request confirmation; do not select one silently.

Use research only to verify the jurisdiction, procurement authority, terminology, or cited requirements. Prefer official government or issuing-authority sources. Cite the source and access date for each researched factual statement. Name the applicable regime when relevant, but do not state what it requires unless the requirement is verified and directly supported.

## Output structure

Write the RFP in this order. Use the item names below exactly as organizational labels, and include a brief completion instruction under each item.

1. **Overview** — identify the issuing organization, project, site, procurement authority, procurement vehicle, objectives, and proposal response requested. Render confirmed, provisional, and fill-in states visibly.
2. **Scope of Work** — describe the interior build-out tasks, existing conditions, design responsibilities, coordination obligations, materials, quality controls, site access, safety, commissioning, closeout, and exclusions. Tie each requirement to supplied project documents or a slot for the document that governs it.
3. **Documents to Submit** — list the proposal letter, qualifications, relevant experience, project team, work plan, schedule, price proposal, assumptions, exceptions, certifications, insurance or bonding evidence, references, and required forms. Mark each as required, optional, or [FILL IN].
4. **Evaluation Criteria with Weights** — render a table containing criterion, description, evidence requested, weight, and evaluator notes. Do not create weights; leave each unconfirmed weight as **[FILL IN: percentage]** and state what approved evaluation plan supplies it.
5. **Schedule** — render a table containing milestone, date, dependency, owner, and status. Include release, questions deadline, answers, proposal deadline, evaluation, notice of intent, award, mobilization, construction, substantial completion, and final completion only where applicable; leave dates as slots.
6. **Administrative and Contract Requirements** — include communications, amendments, reservations, conflicts, subcontracting, payment, changes, site conditions, insurance, bonds, warranties, dispute process, prevailing requirements, and termination only when confirmed or sourced.
7. **Submission Instructions and Contact** — specify method, format, file naming, deadline, contact, and acknowledgment process using slots where needed.

## Style rules

Use a **hybrid** style. Use itemized, table-based, and numbered formatting for requirements, documents, evaluation criteria, milestones, and bidder instructions. Use concise narrative paragraphs for the overview, scope introduction, procurement context, and explanations of fill-in fields. Maintain a formal, neutral, non-promotional register. Avoid unsupported urgency, boilerplate claims of legal enforceability, vague phrases such as “best value” without a defined criterion, and construction-specific jargon that is not defined or sourced.

## 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 for the interior build-out of a new headquarters office, not a design narrative, estimate, contract, or completed construction plan.
2. Check that the only unqualified project fact carried from the input is the headquarters-office interior build-out.
3. Identify every added fact about the project, issuing organization, site, budget, schedule, scope, or procurement authority; remove it or attach a verifiable source.
4. Check that no [FILL IN] slot for the headquarters project was filled arbitrarily, including the project name, location, budget, dates, evaluation weights, or NAICS code.
5. Verify that every missing slot states what document, decision, or authorized party must fill it.
6. Confirm that each material item is labeled CONFIRMED, PROVISIONAL, or [FILL IN].
7. Check the federal branch for FAR, vehicle, set-aside status, SAM.gov registration, and NAICS code slots.
8. Check the state or local branch for **[VERIFY: state or local procurement authority]** and ensure FAR was not assumed.
9. Confirm that the evaluation criteria and schedule are tables and that no invented weights or dates appear.
10. Confirm that the scope remains limited to the headquarters interior build-out procurement.
11. Check that researched claims have authoritative citations and access dates.
12. Confirm that the hybrid format uses lists and tables for operational fields and narrative only for contextual explanations.
