RFP Submission Step 1: Review RFP

What the buyer tells you on the Review RFP step, how to read the request details, and how to decline if you have nothing to submit.

Written by Zachary Cuva

The Review RFP stage is the first step in the RFP workflow.

Here, you'll review all key campaign and advertiser details provided by the buyer before adding inventory or submitting a proposal.


Purpose

This step allows you to:

  • Understand campaign objectives and parameters.

  • Confirm the requested inventory types and markets.

  • Identify any special notes or requirements before proceeding.


RFP Details Overview


Each RFP includes the following fields:

Field

Description

Notes

Custom field where the RFP issuer can include important details or special instructions.

Currency

The currency for the request. See the note below if your account is set up for international requests.

Due Date

Deadline for submitting your RFP response.

Media Types

Requested inventory categories for the campaign.

Fulfillment User

The primary point of contact issuing the RFP.

Advertiser

The advertiser or brand associated with the campaign.

Points of Interests

Target areas or specific locations for the campaign.

Markets

Geographic markets targeted by the campaign.

Zip Codes

Specific zip codes targeted, if the request includes them.

Overall Budget

Total campaign budget. Only shown if the buyer has chosen to share it.

Demographics

Target audience for the campaign.

Screen Type

Type of inventory requested — Static, Digital, or both.

Dates

Campaign flight dates, and whether those dates are fixed, flexible, or made up of multiple flights.

*Note: Any field the buyer has not filled in shows as not specified.

**Note: If your account is set up for international requests, you must select a Currency before you can continue. Save and Continue stays disabled until one is selected.


Flight Dates

The Dates field indicates how the buyer wants availability submitted:

  • Fixed — the exact start and end dates shown.

  • Flexible Dates — any availability within the flight date range.

  • Multiple Dates — availability for each of several flight ranges.

For flexible and multiple-flight requests, a message appears when you open the RFP explaining what's expected. See How RFP Flight Dates Work.


Attachments

If the buyer has attached files to the request — a brief, a media plan, spec requirements — they appear on this page. Review them before adding inventory.

*Note: Submissions can only be accepted through the AdQuick platform. Emailed templates won't be accepted.


If You Have No Inventory to Submit

You can decline the request from this step using No inventory to submit, which asks for a reason and an optional note. See How To Decline RFP.


Accessing RFP Details Later

You can revisit these details during the Add Inventory and Unit Details stages by selecting RFP Details at the top of the page, which opens them in a pop-up. Currency cannot be changed there — set it on this step.
