Procurement services / Scope of work

BFGoodrich Sourcing Services

Define which specifications, supplier records and decisions belong in each stage of a tire procurement request.

What each service produces

Procurement coordination deliverables
Service	Project record
RFQ clarification	A line list with size, load index, speed rating, tread, axle position and units. A 225/45R18 entry without the service description stays open.
Supplier comparison	A quote register by SKU, revision, currency, MOQ, named Incoterm place and lead-time assumptions. Reconcile mixed-container loading separately when the order combines sizes.
Sample coordination	A sample reference tied to the quotation, with sidewall markings, tread depth and packaging recorded against the buyer brief. Confirm the method before requesting measurements.
Inspection coordination	A written scope linking a third-party check to a lot, sample selection rule and acceptance criteria. Inspection findings stay attached to the checked lot.
Shipment checklist	SKU counts, packing marks, document responsibilities, named destination port and outstanding exceptions. Freight carriage and customs clearance are handled by the parties named in the order.

Keep the same specification in each quote
For a stock program, ask for confirmation of the actual lot and date-code policy. A custom program can address an exact marking or tread request, with different sample and tooling terms.
Keep substitutions visible
A single supplier can simplify lot tracking. If several suppliers are needed to cover the size range, keep their packing, labeling, inspection and consolidation responsibilities separate.
Keep evidence tied to its owner
Use supplier statements for declared specs, independent reports for the measured sample, and the buyer decision log for deviations. A management-system certificate does not establish the regulatory status of a particular tire.

Send the current size list and mark any open fitment or document questions.
