Specification-led procurement
A compact route for moving protective textiles, industrial fabrics, yarns and fibers from an RFQ to comparable samples, documented commercial terms and a lot-linked release.
RFQ data table
The table treats completeness as a sourcing control. It does not imply that every field is known at the first inquiry; unresolved items are assigned to a sample, test or commercial confirmation.
| Gate | Minimum input | Decision output | Stop condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Use, hazard, assembly, environment, market | Requirement boundary | Protective function not defined |
| Material | Fiber, construction, GSM, width, finish | Comparable article shortlist | Trade name used without construction |
| Sample | Color, hand, conversion and approval purpose | Named sample stage | Lab dip treated as bulk approval |
| Evidence | Method, conditioning, specimen, acceptance criterion | Report request | Result lacks product scope |
| Commercial | MOQ, quantity, tolerance, lead time, Incoterm, destination | Comparable quotation | Cost basis or delivery responsibility unclear |
| Release | Approved sample, lot, inspection and documents | Order handover record | Construction or finish changed |
Document checklist
Certification, regulatory, quality-system and test documents are not interchangeable. The applicable issuer, entity, product range and validity must be checked for each order.
Product designation, fiber content, yarn form, construction, nominal GSM, usable width, coating or finish and agreed tolerance.
Purpose, sample type, revision, date, approver and the boundaries of what was accepted. Lab dip, handloom, strike-off and production lot remain distinct.
Method, laboratory or issuer, conditioning, direction, specimen assembly, article identity, result and report date. Accredited status is confirmed from the report, not assumed here.
MOQ by article or color, price basis, tooling or sampling charge, lead time assumptions, Incoterm, destination, packaging and inspection responsibility.
Production reference, dye or finish lot, inspection result, approved deviation and any change to supplier, fiber, construction, finish or backing.
Cost and lead time can change with color count, test program, raw-material availability and conversion sequence. Final quotation and release documents control.
Provide the known fields and identify the unknowns. Dupont will return the next required sample, evidence or commercial decision.
