Can anyone direct me to some sample responses for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in our industry?
I have done several responses to RFPs, but not for RFQs.

"RFQ" stands for "Request for Quote" in this industry, brother.

If you were an ad agency you could send them your exam results anyway and then claim you were thinking out of the box.

Huh, in other industries it is Request for Qualifications.
- d_rek0
Yeah... uh... i've never heard of Request for Qualifications...
Isn't that like asking for a Resume or a CV?Now Req for Quote.. well... i'm sure you could find myriad examples of a typical studio invoice (typical, heh).

Yes there is a RFQ (Request for Qualifications) It's similar to a CV but for the business itself.
Not often but it happens. Normally for a studio/agency you'd include stuff like:
gross billing per year
legal info
federal ID #
contact info
banking info
top clients and percentage of business that comes from said clients
references
principles
sometimes even credit ratingetc.
you get the idea... it's usually very sensitive info.
no samples to show and you will have a hard time finding a sample since the info is pretty confidential per studio.
- Yeah, I can find tons for other industries (construction etc.) just not for design.ETM

Just to clarify ... yes, RFQ can be mean ''Request for Quote' or 'Request for Qualifications'.
http://www.google.ca/search?q=Re…Basically its when you outline the capabilities of the company, and the staff or team that would be applied to a project. Sometimes it includes resumes or CVs of team members as well. Its sort of a way to see who is even capable of the project and then requesting RFPs from the front runners rather than just doing an open RFP.
Its fine, I will just adapt a lot of the background section of my response to RFP doc and use that. Just thought I would see if anyone could offer some more insight.

Ask the prospect for clarification in what they are requesting. Quote or Qualifications

I've written lots and lots of RFP's. Some for government work. Many of them have a qualifications section where I usually include bios for team members, client references and case studies, also in the upfront, even if it's not specified to do so I usually indicate our process for tackling that type of job. Maybe that's what they're looking for? not sure, just throwing it out there. Love to hear what your solution may be though. Hope that helps.

No, I know its for qualifications. No question there.

RFQ in architecture is a Request for Qualifications. RFP is a Request for a Proposal.
People ask for this to see what your Qualifications are, experience, etc., etc. This will allow for them to narrow the field, then send the RFP to a small group of qualified companies as things move forward.

Request for Qualifications is used a lot for government RFP's in the marketing/design world too...I do love how no one answered the question though, and instead digressed into bitching about who is right about a fucking acronym.

Hey "ETM", "RFQ" is this industry stands for "request for quote", end-of-story.
Guess we've never done any government work? I didn't know you were privy to the inner workings of what we did here. So, indeed we have, and "RFQ" was interpreted as just that—the request for a job estimate.
I guess you felt the need to be a cock.
