How do I Request a Quote?
The exact procedures for Requesting a Quotation (RFQ) will vary depending on the products and services involved. In general, these steps should prove most efficient:
- Find the product/service on Unicor.gov or the closest available product or service. If you can't find the product it is probably because we don't sell it - at that point, submit your request to our Customer Service Center; they will respond or route it to an appropriate Program Manager.
- If the product is sold online, great! Add it to your cart in the desired quantities. Repeat until you have added all the items you can.
- If the product or some of the products are not sold online, then that's okay, click the business card link at the bottom of that page's left-menu; this will direct your request to the most appropriate contact.
- Once you are on the Request for Quotation page, you may add the contents of your cart to the request. And, you may describe the products and services not sold online.
- If you are logged in, your address and contact information will pre-populate your request. Otherwise, complete your information and delivery address too. Some product lines offer special services and/or restrictions so describe your quotation as best you can.
- Upon submission, your data will be saved and an e-mail sent to a UNICOR program manager or Customer Service Center. You will receive a copy of this e-mail
- If you have an informational document to attach with your RFQ, you may reply-all to this e-mail and attach from your e-mail system.
- When your Quotation is complete, you will receive a time-sensitive quote or a no-bid if we are unable to meet your specifications.
- For the near future: we will save this RFQ in our back-end system and allow you (or others in your Federal procurement chain), to order the quotation online or offline.
