Clear Aligner OEM Request for Quote Template

Write One RFQ Brief for Every Supplier

State the intended market, anticipated case mix, volume range and expected order pattern. Describe which services you need, such as planning support, fabrication, packaging or dispatch. Give suppliers the same sample case specification without sharing patient records at the quotation stage.

Ask for Pricing Units and Inclusions

Request a rate per case, arch or stage as applicable and identify what the base fee includes. List preapproval revisions, replacement stages, packaging, shipping and expedited orders separately. Ask for the quotation currency, validity period, minimum order and assumptions about volume.

Define Turnaround From the Same Milestones

Have the supplier report intake review, setup, approval wait, production and dispatch separately. Specify the event that starts each clock and who communicates a delay. Use the manufacturing pilot checklist to test whether these milestones are visible in practice.

Request the Same Evidence With Each Quote

Ask for a sample packing list, example production handoff, complaint contact and written remake terms. Request relevant product and market documentation through your quality team. Compare offers on the same scope before discussing a pilot with the OEM manufacturing team.
