How do I utilize quantities when submitting an RFQ?

Better understanding how price breaks and awarding works for multi quantity RFQs

When you include multiple quantities in your RFQ, suppliers can offer volume-based pricing.

You’re not required to award every quantity — simply choose the option that best fits your order (for example, awarding the 50-piece lot instead of the 500-piece).

You also can award an RFQ to multiple suppliers if it makes sense — for example, when different suppliers handle specific parts of an assembly or different quantities. Just be sure to clearly outline expectations and deliverables in each award to avoid confusion.
