Submission guide

What to include for the best response from USA Near Shoring?

The more information in your RFQ, the faster and more precise USA Near Shoring’s response. Partial specs are always accepted but here is what makes the difference between a vague inquiry and a program-ready quote.

  1. 01

    Part Prints or CAD Files

    PDF prints with all dimensions, tolerances, material callout, and surface finish specified. Native CAD (STP, STEP, IGES) is preferred for tooling quotes. Zip all files into a single file under 20MB. If you only have a sketch or concept, submit it – USA Near Shoring can work with whatever stage of design you’re at.

  2. 02

    Annual Volume

    Estimated annual production quantity. If volume varies, give a range (low / expected / high). Volume is the single biggest driver of process selection, tooling amortization, and supplier tier a 500-piece-per-year program and a 500,000-piece-per-year program get very different process and country recommendations for the same part.

  3. 03

    Quality Standard Required

    Specify your quality requirement: APQP/PPAP (and level – 1 through 5), ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485 (medical), AS9100 (aerospace-adjacent), or custom customer-specific requirements. USA Near Shoring manages APQP/PPAP for all offshore programs by default. If you have a specific customer quality requirement document, include it in the zip.

  4. 04

    Target Landed Cost or Budget

    If you have a target unit cost or landed cost budget, include it. USA Near Shoring builds a full landed cost model (unit price + tooling amortization + freight + tariff + quality risk) knowing your target lets USA Near Shoring tell you immediately whether the program is achievable at your budget, and which process and country combination gets closest.
