RFQ — technical FAQ

Is the RFQ Builder free for buyers?
Yes. Farms, integrators and project owners pay nothing. Suppliers fund the platform; there is no markup applied to quoted prices.
How many quotes will I receive?
Typically 3–5 offers on identical scope. Availability depends on capacity, geography and Incoterms — some briefs return fewer proposals when the specification is narrow.
How are quotes made comparable?
The sourcing engineer normalises each proposal against the released specification: capacity, materials, control systems, warranty, delivery terms and payment schedule are aligned so total-cost-of-ownership can be compared like-for-like.
What is the typical response time?
First matched offers usually arrive within 2–5 business days after brief release. Complex EPC packages can take 2–3 weeks.
Do you provide financing?
No. FeedMatch is a sourcing platform, not a lender. Qualifying projects are introduced, with buyer consent, to independent financing partners. All approvals, pricing and underwriting are decided solely by those partners.
Before you start

What the RFQ builder needs — and what happens next

The RFQ builder collects the fields suppliers must have before they can quote comparably: product and form, specification with tolerances, tonnage, packaging, destination, Incoterm, certification and payment terms. It produces one structured request per requirement, which FeedMatch routes to independent suppliers. FeedMatch does not quote, resell or add margin.

What information you need

  • Product, form and grade for each line item.
  • Nutritional or technical specification with acceptable tolerances.
  • Tonnage per shipment and expected annual volume.
  • Packaging: bulk, big bags, 25 kg bags or containerized.
  • Destination port or delivery site plus the Incoterm.
  • Required certifications and documents (GMP+, FAMI-QS, ISO 22000, HACCP, halal, COA, phytosanitary).
  • Payment terms and any tender or contract deadline.

What happens next

  1. 1Completeness review. We check the request and come back with the specific questions suppliers would otherwise ask.
  2. 2Supplier matching. The RFQ is routed to independent suppliers that already serve that product, volume and destination market.
  3. 3Offers returned. Suppliers issue their own offers and documentation; nothing is marked up or rewritten.
  4. 4Comparison and contract. Offers are normalized to one basis for spec, landed cost and lead time; you contract directly with the supplier you select.
Next: submit your built RFQ for supplier routing Or add the document pack before submitting

Your RFQ goes to independent suppliers only. FeedMatch does not quote against your own request.

Common questions about this step

What information does the RFQ builder require?
Product and form, specification with tolerances, tonnage per shipment and per year, packaging, destination and Incoterm, required certifications and documentation, and payment terms.
What happens after I submit the RFQ?
The request is reviewed for completeness, routed to independent suppliers that serve that product and market, and their offers are normalized to the same specification, unit and Incoterm for comparison.
Does FeedMatch quote the price itself?
No. Suppliers issue their own offers and contract directly with the buyer. FeedMatch structures the requirement and does not add margin to supplier quotations.

What to include in each type of feed RFQ

The same buyer portal handles every request type. What changes is the information a supplier needs before a quotation is comparable. Use these checklists when preparing a feed mill RFQ, aquafeed RFQ, poultry feed RFQ, premix RFQ or bulk ingredient RFQ.

Feed mill RFQ

A feed mill RFQ covers a complete production line or a defined upgrade: intake and cleaning, grinding, batching and mixing, conditioning and pelleting, cooling, coating, bagging or bulk loadout, plus automation and installation scope.

Required in the RFQ

  • Target capacity in tonnes per hour and planned operating hours per year
  • Species and formulation range (mash, pellet, crumble, and pellet diameters)
  • Raw material list, storage plan and intake logistics
  • Electrical supply, steam availability and site constraints
  • Scope split: equipment supply only, supply and installation, or turnkey
  • Destination country, Incoterm, budget band and required commissioning date

Manual review: FeedMatch reviews capacity realism against the formulation range, the raw material plan and the site's power and steam constraints before any supplier is researched.

Aquafeed RFQ

An aquafeed RFQ is either an extrusion line request (sinking, slow-sinking or floating pellet) or a finished aquafeed supply contract for fish or shrimp production.

Required in the RFQ

  • Species, life stage and pellet sizes required, including micro-diets if relevant
  • Floating, slow-sinking or sinking pellet with target water stability and durability
  • Capacity per hour and per year, plus oil inclusion and vacuum coating requirement
  • Target protein, fat, digestibility and raw material constraints (fishmeal replacement policy)
  • Drying, cooling and packaging scope for line requests
  • Destination, Incoterm, monthly tonnage and required certifications for supply contracts

Manual review: FeedMatch checks that pellet physics, capacity and formulation targets are internally consistent — the most common reason aquafeed quotations come back non-comparable.

Poultry feed RFQ

A poultry feed RFQ covers bulk finished feed supply — broiler starter, grower and finisher, or layer phases — or a poultry feed mill package sized to an integration's bird numbers.

Required in the RFQ

  • Phase programme and monthly tonnage per phase
  • Specification: crude protein, ME, amino acid targets, calcium and phosphorus
  • Presentation: mash, crumble or pellet, with pellet diameter and durability target
  • Medication, coccidiostat and additive policy plus withdrawal requirements
  • Bulk or bagged delivery, packaging, and delivery frequency
  • Destination, Incoterm, price basis and contract duration

Manual review: FeedMatch confirms the phase programme, tonnage and specification are quotable as a contract rather than a spot enquiry before approaching suppliers.

Premix and additive RFQ

A premix or additive RFQ defines a dosing programme rather than a single product: inclusion rate, carrier, active levels and the analytical evidence required with each batch.

Required in the RFQ

  • Inclusion rate per tonne of finished feed and annual finished-feed volume
  • Vitamin and trace mineral levels, source form (oxide, sulphate, chelated) and carrier
  • Enzymes, acidifiers, binders, mycotoxin management and other functional additives
  • Certificate of analysis, stability data and shelf life requirements
  • Packaging, labelling language and regulatory registration in the destination market
  • Destination, Incoterm and required delivery schedule

Manual review: FeedMatch normalises inclusion rates and active levels so competing premix offers can be compared per tonne of finished feed, not per tonne of premix.

Submit this requirement →

Bulk feed ingredient RFQ

A bulk ingredient RFQ covers commodity and protein raw materials — soybean meal, corn, wheat bran, DDGS, fishmeal, oils and fats — under a defined contract period.

Required in the RFQ

  • Product, origin acceptance and monthly or annual tonnage
  • Specification: protein, moisture, fibre, fat, ash and contaminant limits
  • Sampling, testing method and arbitration rules
  • Incoterm, discharge port, vessel or container preference and demurrage terms
  • Price basis (fixed, index-linked, formula) and payment terms
  • Certifications: GMP+, ISO, non-GMO, halal or others required in the destination

Manual review: FeedMatch verifies that specification, testing basis and Incoterm are stated before quotation, since these three drive most of the apparent price spread.

Feed storage and handling RFQ

A storage and handling RFQ defines silos, conveying, dosing and loadout for a mill or a farm receiving bulk feed.

Required in the RFQ

  • Number and capacity of silos, product bulk density and residence time
  • Conveying method, throughput and dust control requirements
  • Dosing, weighing accuracy and automation interface
  • Truck or vessel loadout rate and civil works scope
  • Site climate, seismic and regulatory constraints
  • Destination, Incoterm and installation responsibility

Manual review: FeedMatch checks throughput, bulk density and loadout assumptions so silo and conveying offers are dimensioned on the same basis.
