How
We Buy.

How ODS issues Vendor RFQs, what a complete quote looks like, and how suppliers are measured.

Vendor RFQs

A Complete
Quote.

Vendor RFQs come from Purchasing@OmniSynkdistribution.com or through the Vendor Portal. Reply on the same thread, one line per part, with:

  • Part number, quantity available and unit price
  • Condition, certifications and warranty
  • Sale type (Standard, NCNR or As-Is) and lead time
  • Manufacturer, CAGE and revision
  • Remaining shelf life where the part has one, and any minimum order
Scorecard

How Suppliers
Are Measured.

Every supplier is scored on its record with us:

  • Response — How often and how quickly you answer an RFQ.
  • Quote quality — How often a quote is complete and valid.
  • On-time delivery — Ship date against the date you promised.
  • Quality — Receiving-inspection pass rate.
