Non-Catalog RFQs let you define exactly what you need, invite pre-screened suppliers to bid against each other, and award to the best offer — all privately, with zero buyer fees.
Simple RFQs negotiate on listed products. NC-RFQs open competitive bidding for anything you need sourced.
Define exactly what you need — materials, dimensions, tolerances, certifications, delivery — without being limited to products already listed on the marketplace.
Invite several pre-screened suppliers to bid on the same brief. Competitive pressure produces sharper pricing than one-on-one negotiation on a listed product.
Only invited suppliers see the brief. Competitors never see what you are sourcing, from whom, or at what price — keeping your strategy yours.
Four steps tuned for sourcing custom or non-listed products with competitive supplier bidding.
Specify product details, quantities, quality standards, delivery requirements, and any other specifications — no catalog SKU needed.
Search the marketplace for suppliers in your category, or invite suppliers you already trust by email. Only those you choose see your brief.
Invited suppliers know they are competing — which drives better pricing and terms. Quotes arrive in a standard format in one dashboard.
Choose the best offer, confirm terms, and proceed to transaction. The full quote history stays attached to the awarded purchase.
Specs, quantities, and delivery — fully custom.
Only the suppliers you choose can see it.
Suppliers know they are competing on the same brief.
Pricing, terms, and delivery in one comparison.
Regular RFQs negotiate on something already listed. When the product you need is not listed — or when you want multiple suppliers competing on a custom spec — NC-RFQ is the right tool.
Your brief stays private to the suppliers you invite. They bid knowing they are in a competitive process. You get comparable quotes in one view, and award on actual best value — not on who replied first.
