Aquaculture RFQ Template — Free & Copy-Paste Ready
Use this template as the skeleton for any equipment or turnkey RFQ. Every section maps 1:1 to what verified aquaculture suppliers need to quote fixed prices without follow-up rounds.
Section 1 — Project header
Buyer entity, country, project name, RFQ reference number, issue date, response deadline, currency, incoterm (EXW / FOB / CIF / DAP), preferred delivery port.
Section 2 — Project overview
Species, target annual production (t/year), system type, water source, site status (greenfield vs retrofit), regulatory environment (permits obtained / pending).
Section 3 — Technical scope
Numbered list of every item required: tanks, filtration, oxygenation, biofilters, degassers, UV, ozone, feeding, monitoring, controls, spare parts, freight, installation supervision, commissioning, training.
Section 4 — Commercial terms
Payment schedule (30/60/10 or LC at sight), warranty (12/24 months), performance guarantees, penalty clauses, currency risk allocation.
Section 5 — Attachments
Site plan, water analysis, environmental permits (if issued), preferred brands (if any). Silence on preferred brands is fine — suppliers will offer their best fit.

Supplier selection criteria
How should a buyer compare aquaculture suppliers?
Compare on evidence, not on presentation: delivered projects at a similar scale and climate, engineering support during design, lead time commitments, spare-part and service availability in your region, certification and testing documentation, payment and warranty terms, and willingness to quote against your specification rather than substituting a catalogue package.
What are the warning signs in a supplier quotation?
Treat these as review triggers: no itemised scope, guaranteed biological or financial performance, no named delivery terms or lead time, no spare-parts or service statement, unclear responsibility for installation and commissioning, and equipment sizing that does not reference your water temperature, oxygen demand or biomass targets.
How does FishMatch handle supplier selection?
FishMatch is an independent sourcing layer, not a manufacturer or reseller. Requirements are structured into a single technical RFQ and routed to relevant producers; buyers receive comparable offers without supplier identities being exposed before they choose to proceed. Selection stays with the buyer — FishMatch standardises the comparison basis.
