Been away from this for a while, but when I got back in I discovered this tidbit. It's an RFP looking for companies who certify ISO 9001 and 14001 compliance for other companies. Had no real idea you could pick and choose a company to certify you for those, make the matter of impartiality come into question, doesn't it?
