RFQ Template

IT RFQ Template
for comparable network pricing.

An IT RFQ should give vendors a fixed quantity sheet, site list, labor units, material requirements, schedule, assumptions, alternates, taxes, freight rules, and acceptance terms. Use an RFQ only when the design and scope are settled. If vendors still need to propose the technical approach, issue an RFP first.

Freeze quantities first

The RFQ works only when every vendor prices the same bill of quantities. Resolve unknown counts through surveys or carry them as explicit allowances.

Separate labor from hardware

A combined total hides markup and makes changes hard to price. Keep labor units, materials, equipment, freight, tax, and project management visible.

Set the validity window

State the award date, mobilization date, quote validity, escalation rules, and substitution process. Material pricing without a validity period is not firm pricing.

When this is not the right approach

If the scope still needs design judgment, an RFQ will reward the vendor that makes the thinnest assumptions. Use an RFP or paid design phase first.
