PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BID AI-written bids will be rejected immediately. We want to hear from you, in your own words, even if English is not your first language. Plain, imperfect English from a real person is worth far more to us than a polished bid written by a machine. Video bids will be prioritised heavily and awarded quickly. A short video of you talking about this job puts you straight to the front of the queue. If you do not have the attention to detail to read this notice, your bid will be rejected. ABOUT US AND THE PART We are a New Zealand manufacturer of seismic restraint and building-services suspension products. One of our steel components, threaded-rod stiffeners, currently comes through a local distributor, and we want to buy direct from the manufacturer to improve cost and secure supply. Volume is ongoing and repeats. The product: - A steel rod stiffener used with threaded rod (all-thread) in building services and seismic bracing. It fits onto the rod to stiffen it against buckling. - It suits M10 to M12 threaded rod. The size we currently buy is marked M12 x 9 x 40. - Two finishes: zinc-plated (electro-galvanized) and hot-dip galvanized (HDG). - Unbranded / OEM parts (we re-label), so no branding is required. - A standard off-the-shelf part. No custom tooling is needed. Reference photos are attached. WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO 1. Find 5 to 8 genuine manufacturers that already make this part and can export to New Zealand. We are open to China, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand or anywhere else you have good factory relationships. 2. For each supplier, gather: company name and location; years in business; whether they can export; the product details and photos they provide; MOQ; EXW and CIF unit price; lead time; payment terms; and sample availability and cost. 3. Quote pricing at 3,000 and 10,000 units per order, in both zinc and HDG, showing the price breaks. 4. Note any concerns about a supplier and how you checked them. Deliverable: a short comparison sheet of the shortlisted suppliers with the details above, so we can decide who to work with. As a price guide, we are targeting about USD 0.28 per unit ex-works for the zinc-plated part, with HDG somewhat higher. This is an initial scoping project. If it goes well, we expect ongoing sourcing and quality-control work.

Hello, I would be delighted to assist with this sourcing project. I have over 24 years of international sourcing and procurement experience, including 20 years working and living in China, with extensive experience sourcing industrial products, hardware, construction accessories, and OEM metal components for clients worldwide. I have strong relationships with manufacturers in China and India and can also source from Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey through my established supplier network. My focus is always on finding genuine manufacturers rather than trading companies to ensure competitive pricing, consistent quality, and reliable long-term supply. For this project, I will identify 5–8 qualified manufacturers of threaded rod stiffeners, collect detailed quotations for both zinc-plated and hot-dip galvanized versions, compare pricing for 3,000 and 10,000 pieces, verify export capability, MOQ, lead time, payment terms, and sample availability, and prepare a clear comparison sheet with my recommendations and any supplier concerns. Having managed sourcing, supplier audits, factory negotiations, production follow-up, quality inspections, and international logistics for over two decades, I understand what it takes to secure dependable suppliers at the right price. I pay close attention to detail and believe in clear, honest communication. If shortlisted, I'd also be happy to send you a short introduction video as requested. Kind regards, Surendra Sharma

I read your full job post, including the note at the top. I understand you are not looking for a list copied from Alibaba. You need someone to find genuine manufacturers, contact them, compare quotations, and help you choose a reliable factory for long-term supply. I have experience in procurement and supplier sourcing. I regularly research manufacturers, compare suppliers, request quotations, review pricing, MOQs, lead times, payment terms, and export capability before making recommendations. For this project, I will: * Find 5–8 genuine manufacturers (not just trading companies where possible). * Contact suppliers and collect quotations for both zinc-plated and HDG versions. * Compare pricing for 3,000 and 10,000 pieces. * Check supplier background, export experience, and identify any concerns. * Deliver everything in a clear comparison sheet so you can easily make a decision. I understand your target price is around USD 0.28 EXW for the zinc-plated part, and I will focus on suppliers that can meet your pricing and quality expectations. English is not my first language, so I prefer being honest and straightforward rather than using fancy words. I believe good communication, attention to detail, and reliable sourcing are more important than perfect English. I would be happy to discuss the project and can start immediately. Thank you for your time. Abdul Sami

Hi, I spent a few minutes reading your project because I wanted to understand exactly what you're looking for. I understand you don't want a long supplier list, you want genuine manufacturers that can actually produce this part and export to New Zealand. My background is in research and administrative support, and I've completed projects involving supplier research, data verification, and spreadsheet reporting. I'm comfortable contacting manufacturers directly, comparing quotations, and presenting the information in a clear format so you can make a confident decision. I pay close attention to detail and understand that verifying suppliers is just as important as collecting prices. If selected, I'll focus on finding genuine manufacturers, documenting how I verified them, and delivering a concise comparison sheet that's easy to review. I'd be happy to support this project and any ongoing sourcing work in the future. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Andri

Hello! First of all, I completely agree with your point that tender documents generated using artificial intelligence will be immediately rejected. People are now too reliant on AI, to the point that they aren't careful enough. I'm based in Shenzhen, China, and have been working in e-commerce for a long time. We frequently search for products on various platforms across China and analyze the strength and qualifications of each supplier, so I have extensive experience in this area. I'm also familiar with international shipping and export customs clearance, as I've also worked in cross-border e-commerce. I look forward to cooperating with you.
