From RFQ to paid
Vendor Runway is for companies that sell products or services to government agencies. The RFQ comes in. The quote goes out in minutes with your compliance documents attached. The invoice goes out the day you deliver. And you know the day the agency owes you money.
Paste one RFQ and build one quote free. No card required.
What you see every morning
One screen with your open quotes, your open purchase orders, your unpaid invoices, and what is overdue, by agency, with your win rate. Your bookkeeper and your lender ask for exactly this. Above the board, a short list of what needs you: a quote due within two days, a vendor who has not answered, an invoice past due.
How an RFQ moves
- The RFQ arrives: paste the email, upload the PDF or a photo, or forward it to your Vendor Runway address.
- Vendor Runway reads it into the buyer, the due date and the line items, goods or work, and texts and emails the person who quotes.
- You enter your cost on each line, a product or a service; margin, unit price and extended price fill in.
- One tap builds the quote on your letterhead with your certification numbers and your uploaded compliance documents attached, and one more sends it to the buyer.
- The purchase order comes in, you tick delivered or work done, and one tap builds the invoice.
- The payment clock starts when you send the invoice, reminds you before and after the due date, and flags when late-payment interest may apply under the prompt-payment rule you set.
When a buyer asks for something you have never sold
On any line, one tap finds manufacturers and distributors that list the requested item, each with a link to the source, the lead time where shown, and the price where one is published, plus a ready email to ask them. Ask several vendors in one tap; their answers come back side by side, and the one you pick becomes your cost. For a service, skip the search: enter your own cost, or ask your subcontractors the same way.
What it replaces
The spreadsheet you retype into.
The Word template you rebuild for every quote.

Questions
Do I have to change how I get RFQs?
No. Paste them, upload them, or forward them.
I sell services, not products.
Each line is a product or a service: hours, months, visits, or one price for the whole job. The quote, the purchase order and the invoice read the same way, and the checklist says work done instead of shipped.
Where do my quotes come from?
Your own letterhead and your own certification numbers; the compliance PDFs you upload are attached automatically.
Who sees my data?
Your data lives in your own workspace. Only the people you add to it can see it. See the privacy policy.
Can my bookkeeper use it?
Yes. Add your bookkeeper as one of your people, or export your RFQs, quotes, POs and invoices as CSV any time.
I only get a few RFQs a month.
Starter is $29 a month for 10 RFQs. Move up when you need more.
What happens when the free quote is used?
You choose a plan when you file your second RFQ.
