Request a quote for your part or assembly.

Use the drawing revision that you want quoted. Include the part number and title on the file, along with the material and dimensions. If the CAD model and drawing differ, state which document controls. A revision label helps keep the request tied to the right design as the discussion develops.

The form accepts a PDF, DXF or STEP drawing up to 25 MB. Use the notes field to identify related documents and open questions. If the package needs more than the available upload allows, describe the package first and ask for an agreed transfer method. Do not leave a critical requirement only in an informal file name.

Enter the quantity for the request. In the notes, explain whether that means individual parts, complete kits or assemblies. If a kit contains several part numbers, show the quantity of each item per kit. A complete bill of materials is the clearest way to define a group of parts that must ship together.

For a repeat program, distinguish the initial order from the forecast. Include the first article quantity, initial production quantity and later release sizes if those are known. State the desired release interval. The forecast helps frame the review, but it does not reserve capacity or become a firm order simply because it appears on the form.

Include the required coating or finish system, color and appearance requirements. Mark any surfaces that must remain bare, including designated grounding points, threads and mating faces. State whether the requirements apply before or after finishing. If a sample needs approval, identify the person or team that will review it.

Powder coat availability is unconfirmed. Ask us about the route your specification needs. Irving has airless spray paint, but that fact alone does not establish a particular coating system or environmental rating. A complete quote should make the proposed finish and any remaining approval steps visible.

The drawing should show the tolerance block and any special limits. Mark the hole patterns, mounting datums, mating surfaces and finished assembly dimensions that control fit. If a frame carries equipment, include the mounting layout. If an enclosure has a door or removable panel, include the clearances that the assembly needs.

Published tolerance ranges are TODO pending Rich confirmation. A specific tolerance must be reviewed with the part and measurement method. Include any required inspection report, fixture or acceptance sample in the RFQ. These items affect the scope and should not be added only after the production route has been quoted.

For a CDU, power skid or enclosure assembly, identify what you want supplied. The scope may be only the fabricated parts, or it may include hardware, wiring and other components. Use the bill of materials to show exact manufacturer references and any approved alternatives. Mark customer supplied items clearly.

Do not assume that a listed DCM part number is a complete specification. If the request includes catalog components, give the required manufacturer, full part number, ratings and approvals. A similar description or a matching brand does not establish a match. The exact configuration and current supply availability must be confirmed for the order.

Tell us which documents your supplier approval process requires. Include material traceability, first article inspection, weld records or other specified evidence. If a third party listing or certification applies, name it and identify who owns the final approval. A complete metal housing is not automatically an approved electrical or cooling system.

Name each standard, edition and qualification your project requires. Ask us about AWS D1.1 welder certification if the drawing calls for it; that qualification is unconfirmed. State the records needed with delivery and the team that will approve them. These requirements must be reviewed for the actual part before they become accepted order terms.

Enter your target date, then use the notes to say whether it is a ship date or a required arrival date. Include the receiving location and any access or delivery constraints. If the first article must arrive before a production release can be approved, give those dates separately.

Lead times and open machine hours are marked "TBD, confirm with Rich" on the planning pages. A requested date is not a confirmed date. Rich must review the drawing, material, finish, quantity and plant route before the schedule can support a quote. The accepted order documents should carry the resulting commitment.

A successful submission returns a reference number after the request is stored. Keep that number for any follow-up. The saved request provides the starting record for review. Submission does not create a purchase order, reserve production time or approve a substitution. Technical and commercial terms still need to be agreed.

Kevin Leonard handles business development and accounts. Rich Fitzgerald handles production and sourcing. If you need to discuss the request, use the contact route and quote the reference. Email delivery is not active, so the on-screen confirmation is the submission receipt. Do not rely on an email arriving.

The request should contain business contact details and the technical information needed to evaluate the work. Do not include passwords, unrelated personal records or data that is not needed for the quote. If your drawing requires a specific confidentiality agreement before review, arrange that before uploading it.

A web form is a convenient entry point, not a substitute for your company approval process. Make sure you are allowed to share the drawing and requirements. Keep the submitted package and reference number with your own procurement records so later changes can be compared with the original request.
