Exact Part Number Control for GE Automation

How a documented RFQ kept an exact part-number requirement intact through technical review, quotation, packing and quantity acceptance.

Anonymized evidence · Quote-based procurement · No substitution

This case study summarizes an anonymized completed procurement record. It is published only within the granted case scope: the exact-reference workflow, the quantity outcome and the day-level sequence.

  • Requirement: exact GE IC695ETM001 family reference with no accepted substitution.
  • Quantity outcome: 2 of 2 pieces were recorded as received.
  • Acceptance scope: quantity and external inspection only.

Case brief

The request required the supplied reference to remain exact. The review process treated the part number and hardware revision as a control point instead of replacing it with a similar-looking alternative.

The public record does not identify the buyer, commercial amounts or private document numbers. Availability and pricing remain quote-based and must be confirmed for the actual RFQ.

Workflow used

  1. Capture the complete reference and the no-substitution rule in the request.
  2. Compare the reference with the available manufacturer data and record the technical review boundary.
  3. Keep the accepted line unchanged in the quote, order, invoice and packing record.
  4. Check the recorded quantity and external condition at acceptance.

See the GE IC695ETM001 product reference for the public RFQ route and the PLC selection guide for the pre-quote evidence checklist.

Documented outcome

The completed record shows one cargo place accepted by the carrier and 2 of 2 ordered pieces received. The acceptance record covers quantity and external inspection; it does not establish installation, operation under load, energy savings or reduced downtime.

What this case does not prove

  • It does not prove installation, commissioning or performance under load.
  • It does not prove a fixed price, live stock or a universal lead time.
  • It does not establish customs clearance, origin certification or regulatory approval.
