Bring engineering, purchasing, and quality into one RFQ thread

Use this page for controlled manufacturing discussions that need more context than a short message can carry. The most useful requests include a part file, drawing revision, material target, annual demand, finish requirements, certification needs, and any customer-specific receiving inspection rules. If the route may include heat treat, coating, welding, anodize, passivation, or another special process, mention the expected approval path so the conversation starts with the right assumptions.

Urgent quality questions are triaged by program risk.

For controlled or export-sensitive programs, do not attach restricted files until the handling expectations are confirmed. Start with a noncontrolled summary, the purchasing organization, the intended end market, and the type of manufacturing evidence required. This protects both the buyer and the manufacturing team from accidental information exposure.

Two-column RFQ intake

Tell us what must be proven, not only what must be made.

Attach file details through your approved channel after the initial reply. The form below starts the routing conversation and helps the engineering team identify whether the project needs DFM review, a first article plan, a special-process supplier, or a simple repeat-order quote. Include any drawing notes that have caused supplier questions in the past; those are often the fastest path to a useful review.

  • Materials, finishes, and target annual quantities
  • Critical dimensions and GD&T callouts
  • Certificate, FAI, PPAP, or special-process requirements
  • Desired lead time and receiving inspection expectations

Included RFQ form

Open the shared controlled intake modal

The site uses the shared feedback form include from the base layout so every RFQ entry point sends the same structured manufacturing questions.
