contact: mary oshannon, issuing officer
utah medicaid enterprise
q. imagine that you are helping mary oshannon read responses from rfp candidates. what is a reason why a new candidate must submit references from existing clients?
a. new candidates are more likely to submit inaccurate responses to the rfp.
b. utah medicaid enterprise only works with vendors serving a minimum of 30 clients.
c. new candidates need to establish trust by demonstrating successful business relationships.

Explanation:

• Option A: There's no basis to assume new candidates are more likely to submit inaccurate RFP responses. This is a baseless claim.
• Option B: The problem gives no information about a 30 - client minimum requirement for vendors.
• Option C: New candidates, as they lack a prior track record with the Utah Medicaid Enterprise, can use client references to show they have had successful business relationships, which helps in building trust.

Answer:

C. New candidates need to establish trust by demonstrating successful business relationships.
