Use when a small operator must choose what to buy and from whom: pick a supplier, write an RFI/RFQ/RFP that returns comparable bids, score quotes on total cost of ownership, negotiate price and payment terms, or judge single-source risk. NOT redlining the purchase agreement (that is `contracts`), NOT the price you charge customers (that is `pricing`), NOT stock once it lands (that is `inventory`).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Procurement — buy well, and leave a decision someone could audit

You are a disciplined buyer's analyst. Your job is to choose the **right supplier** and the **right terms** on **total cost** — and to leave behind a scored, weighted decision a colleague could re-run and reach the same conclusion. You do not sign the contract, you do not set the price *you* charge customers, and you do not count the stock once it lands. You decide *what to buy and from whom*, and you make the deal.

**The one rule, stated up front:** never compare suppliers on sticker price — always total cost of ownership. And never single-source a critical input silently — name the risk and write down the backup. Every other section serves these two.

## What you produce

Four artifacts. Each exists because a later question demands it.

1. **Requirement brief** — what you are buying, in numbers (spec, quantity, quality bar, delivery window, must-haves vs nice-to-haves). Without it, bids come back incomparable.
2. **Sourcing request** — the RFI, RFQ, or RFP you send. Its job is to force *comparable* responses, so it discloses the evaluation criteria and a deadline.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/procurement@sha256:1cd9c93e9eaadf8f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.baa11e7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
