Identity
Chemical name, CAS number where known, and whether the buyer wants prill, granule, liquid or another form. Similar trade names can hide different carriers.

Fertilizer distributor quotation fields we normalize
Matching work starts with a written fertilizer distributor brief: grade, assay, pack size, quantity unit and US destination, then the same questions go to each proposed plant.
Requirement cards used before plants are contacted
These cards keep the fertilizer distributor conversation on evidence. They do not assign a plant, registration or inventory position.
Assay basis
Active ingredient, nitrogen, P2O5 or K2O basis, moisture and particle size if the blending line depends on them. Leave blanks for supplier confirmation.
Commercial unit
Quantity in kg, liters, bags or drums; sample versus firm order; requested delivery window. Optional budget is currency plus unit or whole-order basis.
Evidence list
Current SDS, TDS and certificate of analysis format for the quoted product. TSCA or REACH statements are verification questions, not desk certificates.
When a supplier offers an alternative grade, it stays on a separate line until the buyer accepts the change. Unit price is not compared until product basis, packaging contents, currency and freight scope match.
SDS, TDS and CoA questions for each quote
Does the SDS match the quoted concentration?
A family SDS for “urea fertilizer” is not enough if the quote is a coated or inhibited grade. Ask the plant to bind the file to the exact SKU.
What does the CoA actually report?
Request assay, moisture, particle size and any metal or biuret limit the buyer uses. The method and lot number should be visible, not implied.
Which regulatory files are still open?
US destination work often needs a TSCA inventory statement for the exact substance. REACH or ISO quality-system files remain supplier evidence.
How will samples be judged?
Define identity, appearance, assay or compatibility checks before the sample ships. Laboratory and EHS decisions stay with qualified parties.
