Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Only government-approved sources can win. If you are not an approved source, your offer is rejected; the text does not name the approved sources, so ask the buyer before you spend time on a quote.
- Serious: Distributor letter due with the proposal. A distributor needs the approved source's authorized distributor letter on the source's letterhead, sent to the buyer by email with the proposal.
- Worth checking: No drawings available. Without drawings you cannot see the design before quoting.
