What is Reverse Auctioning Typical Auction: Seller offers an item and buyers are free to bid on the item until the time period expires Reverse Auction: Buyer offers a proposed contract action and sellers are then able to offer bids on the contract As the auction progresses, the price decreases as sellers compete to offer lower bids than their competitors while still meeting all of the specifications Advocates suggest reverse auctions produce rapid downward price pressure
