$TPAC (RFQ Boeing Example in REAL terms):
"...For a basic solicitation of a specific quantity of product or services for a one-time buy or for a short duration with limited or simple requirements an RFQ would probably suffice. An RFQ is a less complicated solicitation with fewer requirements. It is usually used for a one-time buy although, some one-time purchases may be complicated, have tight requirements, or may require a more in-depth approach because of the variability or technical aspects of the purchase.
One of the high dollar items purchased by major airlines is heavy jet, Class D, full flight simulators (FFS). They are used by airlines to train pilots, flight crews, and mechanics on a specific aircraft fleet type such as a Boeing 747 or Airbus A-380..... They are state-of-the-art, computer software-driven, and also very expensive. A single Class D FFS costs between $10 and $14 Million dollars new, depending on the fleet type and equipment and configurations. There are a limited number of qualified and recognized Class D FFS Manufacturers that are located in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. Each FFS is usually a one-time buy but, because of the technical nature of the product and the variations of the separate offerings, an RFQ to present minimum requirements and specifics of the purchase parameters is usually issued.
Reads VERY SIMILAR to TPAC's current process!
