Explanation:
Project scope is measured against the project management plan. The project scope statement and scope baseline are subsets of the project management plan. However, the whole plan and all the baselines (cost and schedule) need to be met in addition to part of the scope. The project management plan is the agreement between the project manager and sponsor and defines what constitutes project completion.

Solicitation involves obtaining responses from prospective proposer. So, if this were true, the RFP would have to be issued in the solicitation process NOT the Solicitation Planning Process. The solicitation planning process would involve developing the RFP prior to issuing the RFP to prospective proposers. In fact, the RFP document is an input into the solicitation process. Therefore, an RFP cannot be issued until after the solicitation planning process which in this case would be the solicitation process.I agree with most of what you are saying, except for the piece that is about RFP being an input to the solicitation process. As I understood it, Solicitation Planning is the process where you prepare the Request for Proposal (RFP). And as documented in the PMBOK, RFP is an output of the Solicitation Planning process. So, even though issuing an RFP is the last process of Solicitation Planning, it still belongs there. It is a deliverable of Solicitation Planning. Solicitation is the process where we get the response to the RFP or the "Proposal" from the various qualified vendors. So, the input to the Solicitation process is the "response to the RFP" and not the"RFP". The PMBOK categorizes both the output of the Solicitation Planning process and the input to the Solicitation process under the general "Procurement Documents" heading. The detail description for each does differentiate the kind of procurement document associated with each process.
