Industrial supplier quote-request template
An editable RFQ intake checklist for supplier websites: parts, quantities, units, required dates and a sales handoff.

Inside the template
A working document,
ready to adapt.
Use this as the brief for a form on a supplier website. Its job is to give the sales team enough information to start a quote, while leaving room for a buyer who cannot identify the exact part.
What each field means
- Buyer and reply email
- Who should receive the quotation.
- Part or description
- Carry the selected part number from the product page; allow “I need help identifying it”.
- Quantity and unit
- Ask for both. Ten packs is different from ten individual items.
- Size or variant
- Only ask for choices that apply to the product.
- Required date
- Accept an approximate date or flexible timing.
- Delivery location
- City or ZIP code is usually enough for the first inquiry.
- Review owner
- Who checks specification, availability and price before replying.
Example quote request

- Alex Morgan · purchasing@example.com

How to use this worksheet
- Choose the fields your sales team actually uses. Make uncertain answers possible.
- Carry product context into the form so the buyer does not have to retype it.
- Confirm receipt only after the request reaches the delivery service. Provide an alternative contact route.
- Test the sales handoff with a sample request before putting the form live.
A request is not an order or a promise of availability. Do not accept confidential drawings through an unreviewed public upload.
