It creates a written record of the pre-contractual communication between buyer and supplier, which is useful if a pricing dispute arises later. It is distinct from a new RFQ because it references a specific prior quote rather than requesting fresh pricing from scratch.\n",{"question":394,"answer":395},"Is an inquiry about last quotation legally binding?","The inquiry letter itself is not a binding contract — it is a request for information or confirmation. Legal obligations arise when the supplier responds by confirming the quoted terms and the buyer accepts by issuing a purchase order or signed agreement. However, the letter creates a paper trail that courts and arbitrators may consider when interpreting what was agreed during pre-contractual negotiations. In most jurisdictions, a supplier's written confirmation of pricing in response to an inquiry constitutes a firm offer that the buyer can accept within the stated validity period.\n",{"question":397,"answer":398},"When should I send an inquiry about last quotation instead of a new RFQ?","Send this letter when you already have a specific quotation on file and need to confirm whether its price and terms are still current before issuing a purchase order. Use a new RFQ when no prior quotation exists, when the scope of supply has changed materially, or when you want competitive quotes from multiple vendors simultaneously. The inquiry about last quotation is faster and more targeted because both parties already share a frame of reference from the prior quote.\n",{"question":400,"answer":401},"Does the inquiry need to be signed to be valid?","Yes. A signed inquiry letter carries the buyer's official authority and is treated by suppliers as a formal procurement communication rather than an informal email inquiry. In practice, unsigned or informally worded requests are often deprioritized or handled at a junior level, which can result in slower, less reliable responses. For any procurement action that may lead to a significant purchase order, authorized signature is recommended as a matter of best practice.\n",{"question":403,"answer":404},"What happens if the supplier's quotation has already expired?","If the validity period has passed, the supplier is generally not obligated to honor the original price. Sending an inquiry about the last quotation after expiry is effectively asking the supplier to re-quote on the same terms. Some suppliers will honor the expired price as a goodwill gesture, particularly for established customers. If the validity period is close to expiring, send the inquiry immediately and ask the supplier to extend the validity period in their response.\n",{"question":406,"answer":407},"How many days should I allow for the supplier to respond?","For domestic suppliers, 3–5 business days is a reasonable standard. International suppliers may need 7–10 business days, particularly if the inquiry involves currency conversion, updated logistics costs, or regional management approval. Set your internal response deadline accordingly — if your procurement committee meets on the 15th of the month, your supplier's deadline should be the 10th to give you time to review the response and prepare your recommendation.\n",{"question":409,"answer":410},"Can I use this letter to negotiate a lower price?","Yes, but carefully. The inquiry can include a clause inviting the supplier to offer revised or improved terms, such as a volume discount or extended payment terms, without explicitly demanding a price reduction. Aggressive or confrontational renegotiation language in a formal letter risks damaging the supplier relationship and may prompt the supplier to withdraw the original offer. Frame any renegotiation as an invitation rather than a condition of proceeding.\n",{"question":412,"answer":413},"What records should I keep after sending this letter?","Retain a copy of the signed inquiry letter, proof of delivery (email read receipt or postal tracking), the supplier's written response, and any subsequent purchase order or contract that follows. These documents together form the pre-contractual record for the transaction. If a pricing dispute arises after the purchase order is placed, this correspondence sequence is the primary evidence of what was agreed and when.\n",{"question":415,"answer":416},"Does this document need to be sent on company letterhead?","Sending on official company letterhead is strongly recommended and is standard practice in most jurisdictions for formal procurement correspondence. Letterhead establishes the buyer's identity, registered address, and contact details at a glance, and signals to the supplier that the communication is official rather than a casual inquiry. Some corporate supplier approval processes require procurement letters to be on letterhead before they will action a response.\n",[418,422,426,430],{"industry":419,"icon_asset_id":420,"specifics":421},"Manufacturing","industry-manufacturing","Used to confirm raw material prices and lead times before releasing production schedules, where even minor pricing changes affect unit cost calculations and margin targets.",{"industry":423,"icon_asset_id":424,"specifics":425},"Construction","industry-construction","Subcontractor and materials quotes expire quickly in volatile markets; inquiry letters are routinely sent before milestone billing or project phase commitments to lock in current pricing.",{"industry":427,"icon_asset_id":428,"specifics":429},"Retail and E-commerce","industry-retail","Buyers use quotation inquiries to verify wholesale pricing before seasonal purchase orders, particularly when currency fluctuations or freight cost changes may have altered supplier pricing since the last quote.",{"industry":431,"icon_asset_id":432,"specifics":433},"Professional Services","industry-professional-services","Firms sending inquiries to technology vendors, software licensors, or specialist subcontractors to confirm quoted rates before including them in client proposals or fixed-fee bids.",[435,438,440,442],{"vs":231,"vs_template_id":436,"summary":437},"request-for-quotation-D1409","An RFQ asks a supplier to provide a brand-new price and terms for a defined scope of supply.

If the validity period has lapsed or market conditions have shifted, the supplier may deliver at a materially different price than the buyer assumed, leaving no written record of what was agreed. A formal inquiry letter closes that gap: it produces a timestamped, signed confirmation from the supplier that the quoted price applies to the buyer's intended quantity before any commitment is made.
