You are all missing the point that this is an RFQ not an order. The liability element comes when you get the quotation back and check what parts have been offered against your specification; if you accept the RFQ as the basis for an order you are signing off that part XYZ-RQ-12-89-X is an acceptable supply for "10k resistor 0805 1%" then you, as customer, accept liability for that choice.

Not quite. On a few occasions I have sent a preliminary BOM to Supplychain/Procurement/Purchasing for RFQ to get pricing on the build.
Because parts can have long lead-times, I find out later that the Manufacturing manager ordered all the parts on the BOM :palm: even though the product has not finished approvals and is months away from production. I'd signed-off on nothing.
He's trying to cover his (procurement) ass and be ready to manufacture ASAP. Engineering does not control Purchasing.

Another company I worked for, when the product was ready for production, Supplychain had ordered nothing  :=\ and there were parts with many months lead-times on the BOM and they were caught with their pants down. Even worse, some parts such as RF modem modules, manufacturers demand your draw-down quantities and dates well in advance, along with a signed commitment to order that.

I wish it was straightforward to get an RFQ but I find the politics around it are incredible because it involves a few departments and none of them are very competent.

go to octopart.com and plug in 1k 0805 1% and see what you get.
you can plug entire BOM's in octopart and it will show you availability , princing and whatnot.

Go to Octopart and plug in '0805 (pullup) - 10k <= resistance <=1M, thin or thick film, V >= 3.5V, pd >= 1mW, tolerance < 75%' and see what you get.

What surprised me yesterday is that they (Future in this case) don't even have a description on their system. Just the cryptic P/N. So no way to double check anything. One ends up googling for the description...

why do you put terms like pullup in there ? the resistor doesnt care what it is used for.
if you don;t care about thin or thick film : why mention it ?
what is this voltage nonsense ? it's a resistor ( unless you are going for high voltage apps , but since it is 0805 that is also nonsense )
and up to 75% tolerance .. what is that ?

you are not searching or a part. you are machine gunning for a table. tha t is not a bill og material. you are feedin it garbage. of course you get garbage ...

Yep, I get a fine parametric table with excellent filtering and sorting capabilities...  :-//
