Material supply carries submittal and product data requirements that add work and gate acceptance, and a supplier that does not read them underprices the effort.
What submittal requirements set
Material packages require the supplier to submit product data, samples, certifications, and sometimes shop drawings for approval before delivery. The specifications set the submittals, the format, and the review process the supplier must complete, which add work and can delay delivery if missed.
Why submittal scope is easy to miss
The required submittals, the format, and the review timeline sit in the specifications, often in Division 01, not the title. A supplier that overlooks them underprices the submittal effort or delays acceptance.
How an AI tender agent reads submittal requirements
An AI tender agent reads each material solicitation, identifies the submittal and product data requirements, and surfaces the submittals and the process that drive the effort. The supplier prices the actual submittal scope.
You can see how the agent reads a material solicitation in our AI tender agent demo for materials and equipment suppliers. It pulls the submittal and product data requirements so the effort is priced.
