DIRECT ANSWERCompare bids against one RFQ revision, then place compliance, deviations, omissions, assumptions and exclusions in one table. Prices become comparable only after technical and scope baselines align.
Bid normalization
- Document revision and tag coverage
- Material, design and fabrication scope
- Inspection, documents, accessories and spares
- Delivery, exclusions, deviations and open clarifications
Relevant manufacturing capability
- Drawing, datasheet and equipment-list manufacturability review
- Self-manufactured and coordinated-supply scope identification
- Technical, quality, document and delivery clarification
Key notes
- Lowest total on unmatched scope is not a meaningful comparison.
