RFQ process

Submitting an aerospace RFQ has never been easier.

ADG now makes it simple for aerospace buyers to upload a single CSV or Excel file directly through the website and request a quote for aircraft maintenance materials, sealants, consumables, and technical aerospace products.

For procurement teams, speed matters. Whether you are sourcing aircraft maintenance materials, aerospace sealants, aviation consumables, PPG aerospace products, or urgent replacement parts, the quote process should be clear, quick, and easy to complete.

That is why ADG has improved the RFQ workflow. Buyers can now upload a single CSV or Excel file directly through the website, removing the need to manually type every line item into a form or send a long, unstructured email.

Why the RFQ Process Matters in Aerospace Procurement

Aerospace buyers often work with time-sensitive requirements, long part-number lists, multiple quantities, approved manufacturer preferences, documentation needs, and delivery deadlines. A slow or unclear RFQ process can add friction at exactly the moment buyers need speed and confidence.

For MRO teams, aircraft operators, OEM supply chains, defence procurement teams, and technical buyers, an efficient aerospace RFQ process helps reduce admin time and supports faster quote responses.

How ADG's Excel and CSV RFQ Upload Works

The process is designed to be simple. Instead of retyping each product requirement, buyers can upload a single spreadsheet or CSV file through the ADG RFQ page.

Once submitted, ADG reviews the line items and responds with relevant quote information, including availability, lead time, documentation notes, and next steps. The goal is to make it easier to request a quote for multiple aerospace materials in one action.

What to Include in Your RFQ Spreadsheet

To help ADG respond as quickly and accurately as possible, your RFQ file should include the key details procurement teams already use internally.

  • Part number or product reference
  • Product name, description, or specification
  • Required quantity
  • Preferred manufacturer or approved brand, where applicable
  • Required delivery date
  • Delivery country or destination region
  • Documentation needs such as TDS, SDS, CoC, batch, lot, or shelf-life requirements
  • Any urgent AOG, project, or maintenance deadline notes

Why This Makes Aerospace RFQs Faster

Spreadsheet upload makes the RFQ process faster because it matches how technical buyers already work. Many procurement teams manage product lists in Excel, CSV exports, BOM files, or internal purchasing sheets. ADG's upload workflow lets those lists move directly into the quote process.

That means fewer duplicated steps, fewer copy-and-paste errors, and a cleaner handover between the buyer and ADG.

Speed, Agility, and Reliability Every Time

ADG is building the RFQ experience around what aerospace buyers actually need: fast communication, clear next steps, and reliable sourcing support.

When you submit an RFQ through the website, ADG can review your product list, check supply options, consider documentation needs, and respond within 24 hours. That matters when maintenance schedules are tight, aircraft materials are time-sensitive, and procurement teams need answers without unnecessary delay.

Built for Aerospace Materials and Technical Procurement

The upload workflow supports RFQs for a wide range of aerospace materials and aircraft maintenance products, including aerospace sealants, fuel tank sealants, conductive sealants, aircraft maintenance consumables, specialist chemicals, adhesives, surface treatments, and PPG aerospace products.

If a product is not currently listed on the website, buyers can still upload the requirement. ADG can review part numbers, descriptions, quantities, and document needs as part of the RFQ process.

Conclusion

Submitting an aerospace RFQ should not be complicated. With ADG's CSV and Excel upload workflow, buyers can send a complete product list directly through the website and receive a clear quote response within 24 hours.

For procurement teams looking for speed, agility, and reliability, this creates a simpler route from product requirement to quote response.
