Quote Massive Prime and DLA RFQ Packages Efficiently

Take the admin pain out of aerospace and defense quoting, where an RFQ is rarely a tidy email with a model and a print attached. Forward the RFQ notice into Paperless Parts as soon as it lands (even when it’s just a portal link with no technical data) to create the record and start tracking it. Then, drop in the technical data package once you’re able to download it.

Instead of opening every file in a ZIP folder to figure out what you’re actually being asked to quote, generate bulk line items from the full file drop. Use our secure, AI-powered BOM Builder to pull parts-list tables off the drawings and RFQ documents (even when it’s a stack of legacy PDFs), so you can see the full scope of the package without digging through hundreds of pages. Spending less time on clerical setup means your team can spend more time making strategic quoting decisions.

Paperless Parts can be configured to export quote data into OEM-specific CSV formats, matching required fields, naming conventions, and layout guidelines, so your team can adhere to the way each buyer expects, faster and with fewer errors. For long-term agreements, add material and labor escalation rates to the quote and your export can calculate year 2 through year 5 pricing in the customer’s required format.

Before anything goes out, the same cost data gives your leadership team what they need to decide how aggressively to bid on a program, especially when winning it means committing to new equipment.

Custom exports also make it easy to generate simplified purchasing summaries and build analytics-ready spreadsheets for tracking margins, win rates, and quoting trends across programs.

PDF Information Extraction, Analysis & Markup

De-risk quoting from complex RFQ packages with Paperless Parts’ built-in PDF tools and Requirements Review. Instantly search and extract key callouts—tight tolerances, MIL-SPECs, ASTM specifications, and required outside processes—so you can quickly flag “no-quote” parts before your team burns hours chasing work you can’t (or shouldn’t) take on. With our AI-powered Wingman™ surfacing in-quote spec callouts and plain-language process descriptions at your fingertips, estimators can stay consistent and move faster. Then mark up prints, redact sensitive details before sharing with outside vendors, and keep a traceable record of decisions and comments—so every quote has clear, auditable rationale.

Eliminate the Need for Expensive CAD Software

For all new defense programs, it is required in the DFARS that complete technical data be provided. To date, accessing Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) has required additional subscriptions to CAD software, putting this critical information effectively behind a paywall. With Paperless Parts, extract and display PMI (dimensions, tolerances, parallelisms, datums, text annotations) on Model-Based Definition files directly in your browser. Data is available from all files that can contain PMI, including STEP AP242, JT files, 3D PDFs, and native formats from platforms like SolidWorks, CATIA, PTC Creo, and Siemens NX.

Maintain AS9100 & ISO9001 Quality 

Meet AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards with Paperless Parts’ digital documentation storage, revision control, and real-time collaboration, ensuring that all relevant documents are easily accessible and up to date. Generate accurate and consistent quotes quickly, taking into account factors such as material costs, labor hours, and machine capabilities.

Maintain a centralized repository for documents such as engineering drawings and specifications, providing traceability of revisions and ensuring that the latest version is always accessible to reduce the risk of using outdated or incorrect information.

Built for CMMC Level 2 Work

Paperless Parts is CMMC Level 2 Assessment-Ready.

Customers that are pursuing CMMC Level 2 certification can confidently use Paperless Parts to quote Controlled Unclassified Information. Protect your customers’ intellectual property by securely sharing and storing files through Paperless Parts without the need for expensive FTP licenses or file storage tools. Keep all your data centralized in one place, and when collaborating externally, choose the files you share, prevent them from being downloaded, and set expiration dates to limit how long parties can access data. With the PDF Viewer, easily redact files to share only the information needed.
