RTD

Return to Draft is a workflow action in automated procurement systems that sends a document back to an earlier stage for revision or correction. RTD actions occur when reviewers identify issues requiring changes before the document can proceed through the approval process.

RTD is common in contract writing systems, proposal evaluation workflows, and document management processes. Understanding RTD procedures helps contractors anticipate potential delays and ensure submitted documents are complete and accurate. Government RTD actions on contractor submissions may indicate compliance issues or missing information requiring attention.
