TEMPLATES & CHECKLISTS
RFQ Checklist
A complete RFQ gives manufacturers the same starting point. Use this checklist to separate released data from open questions and reduce assumptions in the quotation.
What’s included
- Project name, product revision and contact owner.
- Prototype, pilot and production quantities.
- BOM with manufacturer names and complete part numbers.
- PCB fabrication data and stack-up requirements.
- Component placement file and assembly drawings.
- Population options, polarity and special process instructions.
- Firmware, programming and functional test requirements.
- Enclosure and harness documentation, if applicable.
- Acceptance criteria, traceability and required records.
- Packaging, delivery location and target milestones.
- NDA requirements before sharing confidential design information.
- Requested quotation breakdown and validity period.
How to use it
Mark each line Ready, In progress or Not applicable. Add a document reference and an owner to every open item. Send all suppliers the same released package.
Keep your completed document with the relevant project revision. Record the owner and date of any approval, and make unresolved assumptions visible to everyone preparing the quote or build.

Start a project inquiry with your completed brief, or email Ben@4PCBA.com. If the design needs an NDA, arrange it before sending confidential files.
