Dan should prepare a request for proposals (RFP) in order to provide detailed information about the work or products required, budgets, deadlines, and other requirements. The RFP is used to invite external agencies to submit bids in response to the specific needs and requirements outlined in the document. This allows for a more structured and organized bidding process. The other options are not appropriate for this scenario: bids are the actual offers submitted by bidders, due diligence reports are used to assess the risks and opportunities associated with a potential investment, and grant proposals are typically used to request funding for non-profit organizations or research projects.
