- Quantity, destination, required date
- Evidence
- BOM, datasheet, label, product photo
Product requirement
Provide the complete orderable identity and all parameters that affect fit or qualification.
- Full MPN and manufacturer preference

- Exact-match or alternative permission
- Application and qualification constraints
Commercial requirement
State the quantity and delivery context required for a usable sourcing response.

RFQ preparation
Buyer questions
Is a target price required?
A target price is optional. It can help identify the intended grade, channel, and commercial range.
Should I include the application?
Yes. Application context helps interpret grade, lifecycle, qualification, and alternative requirements.
Can I upload a screenshot instead of a spreadsheet?
Yes for a small request. A spreadsheet is easier to review when the inquiry contains many lines.
