RFQs are typically used for standardized goods and services where specifications are clear. The evaluation is primarily price-based — the lowest responsive, responsible bidder usually wins. RFQs are faster to respond to than RFPs and common for commodity purchases, equipment, and well-defined services.
A county needs 500 cases of paper towels delivered monthly. They issue an RFQ specifying exact product requirements and delivery schedule. Vendors submit their per-case pricing.
