A complete RFQ makes quotations comparable
A request for 'best industrial salt price' leaves the grade, basis, form, evidence, packing, quantity and delivery scope open. Suppliers can answer different interpretations and still appear to quote the same product. The builder turns those missing decisions into visible fields.
Complete only the limits approved by the buyer's process or quality owner. IS 797 can be a reference, but the tool does not pre-certify an offered product or decide which grade a plant needs.
Require a line-by-line supplier response
Ask the supplier to show the offered value, evidence and deviation against every mandatory requirement. Keep the product, manufacturing or dispatch location, lot identity, COA and quotation aligned. A generic brochure should not silently replace a parameter table.
After technical clearance, compare salt, packing, testing and freight separately. Attach the final specification and accepted deviation schedule to the purchase order so a phone discussion does not become the only record of the product ordered.
The generated draft stays on the device
The form is a private client-side drafting aid. India Salt does not receive the content unless the buyer later chooses to copy it into a separate enquiry. Download or copy the text, route it for internal approval and issue the controlled version through the buyer's normal procurement system.
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the RFQ builder choose IS 797 Grade I or Grade II?
No. The buyer must choose the applicable standard or custom limits with the process owner.
Can I leave chemistry blank?
Yes, but a specification-led purchase should attach the approved parameter table before issue. Blank fields remain visible in the generated draft.
Is the generated RFQ a contract?
No. It is a drafting aid. The buyer must approve and issue the final technical and commercial document.
