Supplier Quotes

Manage supplier quotations and sourcing decisions at the bid stage to automatically send selected materials for sourcing and supplier quotations via SAP S/4, SAP Product Sourcing, Ariba or Coupa.

Material Selection

Determine materials in your project for sourcing, such as high cost and low confidence, expired contracts or more than $2M spend by supplier (TINA or TCPD). Manage sourcing strategies and quantities across commodities and buyers.

Coupa or Ariba Sourcing

Combine materials into RFPs considering date ranges, quantity scales across options, and specific bid-specific terms. Send RFP items and recommended suppliers to supplier portals to request quotations and manage sourcing and procurement deadlines.

Price Point Tracking

Convert a range of end items and optional sets into consolidated quantity-scales for supplier quote requests. Curve supplier quotes to your desired quantities and period of performance based on PO placement or delivery.

Supplier Quotation Tracking

Import supplier sole-sourced/competitive quotes across proposals, sets, years and quantity-scales. Proactively update material costs, inflation and quantity-curve factors.

Price and Cost Analysis

Keep track of price (comparable) and cost analyses (cost breakdowns), to ensure a compliant basis of estimate with US Government regulations such as FAR 15.2, TINA and TCPD.

Supplier Quotation Adjustments

Select supplier quotes and add decrements to model future price negotiations or increments for missing charges. Track fixed recurring, non-recurring and unitized fees.

Supplier Quotation Management

Get supplier quotes right every time. Connects sourcing tools like SAP Product Sourcing, SAP Ariba, and Coupa directly to your proposal costing, ensuring every part, price, and supplier is accurate, compliant, and aligned with proposal response timelines to meet regulatory requirements for cost auditability.

The supplier spend threshold beyond which you need to provide a cost analysis recently increased from $750K to $2M; however, a complex program or project-based proposal will typically have several suppliers with anticipated spend above that $2M threshold. Twenty5 iPE allows you to select which parts have commercially available prices, valid existing supplier agreements and recent quotations, and which parts require new supplier quotations to be solicited prior to the basis of estimate due date.
Combine product which require vendor quotations throughout your proposal, consolidating across options, sets, and end item delivery schedules to generate supplier RFPs across a range of dates and quantities. Suppliers are automatically recommended based on prior historical spend, prior no-bid responses, vendor performance, and disbarments. This allows procurement to focus on supplier research and collaboration.
Combine vendor quotation responses to generated RFPs with previous cost and procurement history, and cost/price analyses to ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements. Track and manage unit costs across different quantity breaks, as well as special charges for non-recurring activities such as first article inspection, certification or expediting.
