Submission guide
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
