Is buyer procurement free?

Buyer procurement is free, with no obligation, for commercial and industrial projects from USD 250,000. Smaller buyers can use the free planning tools.

Who contacts suppliers?

The ColdMatch team reviews and organizes your RFQ, contacts suitable refrigeration suppliers on your behalf and presents organized responses through ColdMatch. There is no direct buyer-to-supplier messaging or public contact directory.

Does a submitted brief establish engineering or regulatory compliance?

No. Engineering design, safety, certification and applicable regulations require verification by the responsible suppliers, appointed specialists and relevant authorities.

Are document exports, automatic translation and enterprise integrations guaranteed?

No. Use the project inputs and submit the brief for review. Confirm any required output format, language or integration with the team before relying on it.

Refrigeration Equipment RFQ

For a commercial equipment package, distinguish component supply from system engineering and turnkey installation. Share your specified requirements with ColdMatch; the team reviews them and contacts suitable suppliers for the buyer. Firm pricing requires an agreed scope and supplier confirmation.

Prepare your RFQ Back to Procurement Suite

Equipment package checklist

Describe the required duty and interfaces without selecting unsupported design values. Ask suppliers to identify what their offer includes and what remains the responsibility of your appointed engineer or installer.

Compressor duty and refrigerant requirements
Evaporators, condensers and controls
Utilities, installation and system integration boundaries
Warranty, service, spares and handover

OEM versus turnkey responsibility

A component OEM offer is not automatically an EPC contract. Ask who owns system design, installation, commissioning, acceptance and local service. Any certification requirement must be verified for the actual equipment and destination.

Sizing inputs, costs and delivery milestones

Use inventory capacity, daily intake, entry and storage temperatures, site dimensions, power and operating hours as distinct inputs. Appointed engineers and suppliers must confirm duty and layout; a calculator is not a final design. Published cost bands are indicative planning assumptions, not a quotation. Obtain separate supplier-confirmed dates for design approval, manufacture, shipping, site readiness, installation and acceptance; no universal lead time is guaranteed.

Separate equipment supply from installed and EPC scope
Record quotation currency, validity, freight, duties and tax exclusions
Require stated performance conditions, warranty and local service obligations
