What is it?

A document used to gather information about Vendors in order to create a list that will be used for up to three years’ worth of procurements (a Qualified Supplier List). This is most useful for a service you will regularly require over a period of time, but where the details of each opportunity will differ. Find our current Qualified Supplier Lists on the Approved Vendors and Standing Offers page.

An RFSQ may result in a qualified supplier list (see Vendors of Record).

Why is it important?

An RFSQ is one of several available procurement vehicles when completing an open Competitive Procurement process.
