Conduct Procurement, as Bidding is part of the Conduct Procurements. Secondly, in this context you as manager is from Seller organization not from buyer and you are preparing for bid is conduct procurement. is that right?

If I am the project manager from seller - I am working on a bid to get the project from FBI --so I don't have a project to work on yet -
Option B is not a process
Option C would have been right if I were a FBI PM
Option D is not correct because we are dealing with contract

 Explanation from Velociteach;

Answer C is correct, though it is not intuitive; you are actually participating in the Procurement Management process called Conduct Procurements. It is a process executed as part of the government's project. Bids and proposals are inputs to this process, and that is what you are preparing.
