What to include in a drawing-based RFQ
A useful RFQ starts with the drawing, but the drawing is rarely the whole story. Before asking for a firm price, include the material grade, surface finish, tolerance notes, expected annual quantity and the first order quantity.
If the part fits into another assembly, add one or two photos of the final use. Suppliers can often spot risk faster when they understand how the part is handled, packed and installed.
For export orders, add destination market, packaging style, labeling requirements and any certificate expectations. These details can change both cost and lead time, so they should be visible before sampling.
