Streamline Your RFQ: Download the Borg Design Quoting Checklist
When a part cannot fail, precision engineering begins long before the first chips fall. In high-stakes industries like defense, aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturing, missing details in an RFQ don’t just cause headaches—they introduce critical risks to your production timeline.
Incomplete data, unconfirmed tolerances, or unstated compliance rules are the leading causes of engineering bottlenecks and manufacturing delays. To help your engineering and procurement teams bypass the back-and-forth, our estimating team has developed a comprehensive, step-by-step RFQ Submission Checklist.
Ensure your project moves seamlessly from an initial request straight into our 24/7 automated production line.
What’s Inside the Checklist?
This quick-reference guide outlines the specific technical and regulatory criteria we look for to deliver fast, competitive, and highly accurate quotes:
- Defense & Regulated Work Standards: Essential upfront requirements for ITAR controls, CMMC, DOD contracting, NADCAP supplier certifications, and flow-down clauses.
- Design & File Specifications: Preferred CAD formats (such as STEP or SolidWorks files) and engineering drawing expectations to ensure rapid evaluation.
- Material & Outside Processing: Guidelines for clarifying material grades, raw stock sourcing, and critical finishing steps like anodizing, plating, or heat treating.
- Quality & Advanced Inspection: Criteria for detailing First Article Inspections (FAI), CMM dimensional reports, and customer-specific quality clauses.
- Hardware & Lead-Time Defenses: How to flag specialized hardware requirements early to avoid supply chain disruptions to your delivery date.
