Two batteries, one charger, one user-manual reprint. Multi-product cart submits as one RFQ.
Pre-filled with org defaults. Optional notes for vendors. SLA deadline picker.
Every approved vendor for those SKUs gets an HMAC-signed response link. /vendor/rfq/respond/[token] — no login needed.
SendGrid with RFC 8058 List-Unsubscribe, bounce + complaint webhooks, suppressions enforced.
Next morning 8AM Central: daily digest rolls up overnight responses. Compare, accept, counter — all in /dashboard/rfqs/[id].
