The Bulk-Purchase Guide: From RFQ to Receiving

2026年10月13日

B2B hardware buying is project management, not shopping. Five stages, each with a deliverable.

The five stages

RFQ: specify config, volume, certifications and lead time — only then are quotes comparable;
Sample validation: test against an acceptance list (performance, ports, 72 h burn-in); no pass, no next stage;
Contract: lock config versions, QC standards (AQL 2.5) and EOL terms;
Tracking: request photo/video milestones; audit the first batch on-site or by video;
Acceptance: sampling plan written into the contract; 100% power-on before warehousing.

“Samples must be built on the mass-production process.” “QC standards exist only when they’re in the contract.” “Always pad the schedule by 5%.”
