Um, no. It's bizarre only if one already knows that RFPs are done through the website. I didn't know that until just now, and have never issued one. So not so bizarre at all, actually.

And while the OP discusses issuing the RFP for three hotels, s/he didn't mention that it was done via the website.

I submitted one for a meeting that is now canceled, and since I haven't heard back from any of the hotels yet I'd like to save them the work of pricing it.

My experience calling event sales managers of various Bonvoy hotels is that I get stuck in a loop of transfers and holds before eventually getting to a voicemail where it's unclear if it's the right person.
So I stand by my previous suggestion of email, which has the added benefit of a written record of the cancellation, should there be any question or problem in the future. Of course, Marriott chooses not to share all of its email addresses publicly, but that's a separate issue.
