Request for Quotation
A solicitation asking vendors to provide price quotes. Usually for simpler, well-defined requirements.
(Request for Quotation) is a process concept federal contractors and grant writers run into across solicitations, regulations, and award filings
RFQ is a step or workflow in the federal-procurement lifecycle. Knowing where RFQ fits in the larger acquisition arc — from market research through award through performance — helps contractors time their engagement, identify the right contracting officials, and avoid showing up too late to influence the requirement. Many proposal failures trace back to misunderstanding when RFQ occurs, who owns it, and what artifacts it produces. The related terms above name the adjacent process steps that most commonly precede or follow RFQ, and tracking those transitions over time is one of the more reliable ways to build pipeline visibility ahead of formal solicitations.
